The rapid fall in consumer and education demand has accelerated the decline in tablet shipments as the world moves further from the peak of the pandemic, a new report has said. Inflation and fears of a recession are at the forefront of consumers' minds, and spending on tablets has taken a backseat as the need for pandemic-era levels of use has fallen, according to a Canal's report. "Unlike notebooks, tablets are not vital for business productivity, so commercial demand has not helped to offset the drop in consumer purchases," said analyst <keyword id="14662397" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="himani-mukka" source="Orion">Himani Mukka</keyword>. "Though consumer weakness is expected to persist into Q3, back-to-school offers and new tablet launches ahead of the holiday spending season will provide a minor lift in demand," <keyword id="644431" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="mukka" source="Orion">Mukka</keyword> added. Countries in <keyword id="68550" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="asia-pacific" source="Orion">Asia-Pacific</keyword> are turning toward domestic production as governments actively encourage citizens to buy locally manufactured goods. Many prominent players, including <keyword id="14662398" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="lenovo-acer" source="Orion">Lenovo, Acer</keyword> and <keyword id="10591" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="samsung" source="Orion">Samsung</keyword>, have already jumped on board with this shift, particularly in <keyword id="3658" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="india" source="Orion">India</keyword>. The latest data shows worldwide PC shipments (including tablets) suffered a second consecutive quarter of decline in Q2, falling 14 per cent to 105 million units. Tablets fell for a fourth quarter in a row, down 11 per cent year on year, with 34.8 million units shipped worldwide. The global <keyword id="6374346" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="chromebook" source="Orion">Chromebook</keyword> market stumbled after the surge in education demand in key markets a year ago. "Chromebooks have now been hit by year-on-year shipment declines every quarter since Q3 2021," said research analyst <keyword id="125844" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="brian-lynch" source="Orion">Brian Lynch</keyword>. <keyword id="13722" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="lenovo" source="Orion">Lenovo</keyword> led the total PC market (desktops, notebooks and tablets) as it shipped 20.9 million units worldwide to take a 20 per cent share of the market in Q2.
