CONSUMERS WANT TO CONNECT TABLETS TO MOBILE NETWORKS

摘要

Telsyte forecasts around 1.5 million tablets will be sold in the second half of 2019 - a decrease of 5% on the same period last year – and expects similar trends to continue into 2020 due to prolonging replacement cycles, and other devices such as 5G smartphones and wearables taking a greater share of consumer electronics spending. But, according to Telsyte, the continued improvement of wireless connectivity such as 5G, Wi-Fi 6 and eSIMs, are expected to drive future tablet upgrades. Currently there are around 10 tablets and 2-in-1s with eSIM support from manufacturers such as Apple, HP, Lenovo, Microsoft and Samsung, and Telsyte anticipates this will increase substantially over the next 24 months.
