The third quarter of 2020 was a good one for the global tablet market, with growth of 24.9% year-on-year taking shipments to 47.6 million units, the analyst firm IDC says, adding that the pandemic was a major driver in boosting the market.
The firm said people had been buying tablets to serve as an affordable means of accessing the Internet for their work, learning and leisure during the COVID-19 outbreak.
