Omdia: Global Tablet Market Sees Marginal Growth at 0.1% in Q1 2026 as Demand Outlook Weakens<\/b><\/p>\n

LONDON–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–
\nThe global tablet market remained flat in Q1 2026, with shipments rising just 0.1% year on year to reach 37 million units, according to the latest research from Omdia. While tablet shipments declined sequentially, in line with typical seasonal patterns, regional performance was led by Latin America, followed by the Middle East and Africa. However, this growth was largely driven by inventory build-up rather than underlying end-user demand, pointing to a weaker demand outlook.<\/p>\n

\n“Heading into 2026, tablets have been relegated in importance for vendors across margins, volume, and overall value,” said Himani Mukka, Research Manager at Omdia<\/a>. “In this supply-constrained environment, consumers and vendors alike are being more deliberate about which devices to prioritize. PC vendors are focusing on notebooks and desktops, while those operating across both smartphones and tablets are gravitating toward smartphones due to their outsized contribution to overall business.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\u201cWithin the tablet space, vendors\u2019 focus in 2026 will be skewed toward the premium segment, where demand has held up better relative to the mass market,\u201d added Mukka. \u201cThe volume tier is more challenged: promotional headroom is limited as there is little room to absorb further price increases, and tablets lack a structural refresh catalyst comparable to the Windows 10 end-of-support cycle in the PC market. The outlook for the second half of 2026 is expected to remain cautious, with volume market segments facing the greatest pressure on both shipment volume and value.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\u201cWithin the PC segment, Chromebooks are currently the most impacted category, with volumes declining significantly,\u201d said Kieren Jessop, Principal Analyst at Omdia<\/a>. \u201cProduction indicators point to a weak near-term outlook, and education-related deployments are increasingly being deferred until market conditions stabilize. Ongoing supply constraints are also expected to delay the second phase of Japan\u2019s GIGA School Program 2.0. While the first phase – extended from end-2024 through end-2025 – was completed without major disruption, the current supply environment is likely to introduce delays in the next phase.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\nAll major Chromebook vendors faced challenges in Q1. Lenovo, which ranked first and was a key participant in Japan\u2019s GIGA School Program alongside its subsidiary NEC, saw shipments decline 11.2% year on year to 1.5 million units as the first phase of deployments concluded. HP ranked second, shipping 1.0 million units, down 15.3% year on year. Acer placed third with 937K units, managing a relatively smaller decline supported by stable shipments in North America and increased shipments into APAC. Dell experienced the steepest decline among the top five vendors, with shipments falling 28.3% year-on-year to 413K units. ASUS, another key participant in Japan\u2019s GIGA School Program 2.0, was the only vendor to record growth in Q1, with shipments rising 3.5% year on year to 406K units, accounting for a 9% market share.<\/p>\n
