IDC just published its report regarding the tablet market situation in the Philippines, and apparently, blended learning is still a key driving force for growth.

During the holiday season, Samsung sold the most tablets as it managed to ship 124,300 units in Q4 of 2021, that’s a 27.3% market share. It’s followed by local brand Cherry Mobile, which sold 89,300 of its budget-friendly machines, amounting to 19.6% of the market.

Taking the third and fourth spots are Lenovo and Huawei. While coming in at number 5 is Realme, which sold 41,000 units, despite only having one tablet in the market, the Realme Pad.

The standings are quite the same when you take a look at the year 2021 as a whole. Samsung and Chery still lead, Lenovo and Huawei switch places, while Realme was replaced by Apple who managed to sell 66,300 iPads for the entire year.

As you can see, there were only about 1.2 million units sold in 2021, which poses a -38.8% YoY growth versus 2020’s 1.9 million figure. Still, these are impressive numbers considering how bad it was pre-pandemic.
