 “At CyberMedia Research (CMR), we believe that the tablet market will continue to maintain its growth momentum in the neo normal.   With supply chain constraints easing out, and consumers spending more time on-the-go, tablets will continue to find favor. Enterprise tablet demand will continue to hold, especially in healthcare, education and manufacturing. The entry of new market players, such as OnePlus and others, continue to illustrate the potential of the tablet market,” added Menka.

Notes for Editors:

1. This release is based on the CyberMedia Research (CMR) India Quarterly Tablet PC Market Review published at the conclusion of every calendar quarter.
2. The figures captured are of both enterprise and consumer shipments.
3. CyberMedia Research (CMR) uses the term ‘shipments’ to describe the number of Tablets leaving the factory premises for OEM sales or stocking by distributors and retailers. For the convenience of media, the term ‘shipments’ is sometimes replaced or used interchangeably with “sales” in the press release, but this reflects the market size in terms of units of Tablets and not their absolute value. In the case of Tablets imported into the country it represents the number leaving the first warehouse to OEMs, distributors and retailers. CyberMedia Research does not track the number of Tablets brought on their person by individual passengers landing on Indian soil from overseas destinations or ‘grey’ market Tablets (if any).
