[Canalys:Q1 global tablet shipments reached 31.7 million units down 17.7% year on year] Science and Technology Innovation Board Daily reported on the 9th that global tablet shipments of 31.7 million units in the first quarter of 2023, down 17.7% from the same period last year, was the lowest since the outbreak of the epidemic in the first quarter of 2020. Himani Mukka, research manager at Canalys, said a decline in consumer demand for tablets can be expected after the Christmas shopping season, but shipments are still lower than expected. In addition, as a large number of demand drivers during the outbreak have largely disappeared and more structural adjustments have been made, tablet suppliers and retailers are giving priority to high inventory levels.
