The India tablet market is set to grow around 4 per cent (on-year) in the fourth quarter (Q4) with the festive sales, as chip shortage continues to challenge the tablet original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), a new report showed on Monday.
Tablet market in India witnessed an outstanding 116 per cent quarter-on-quarter (QoQ) growth in the third quarter (Q3) 2021, mostly driven by continued consumer demand in the run-up to the festive season, according to the report by Gurugram-based market research firm CMR.
"The current supply side dynamics, including chip shortage, will potentially pose challenges for tablet OEMs. However, we believe tablet brands will be able to navigate these challenges, and the overall tablet market will continue to maintain its growth curve in Q4 2021," said Menka Kumari, Analyst-Industry Intelligence Group (IIG), CMR.
In the third quarter, Lenovo led the tablet market with 47 per cent market share in the country.
