«Tablets are seeing a renewed interest from consumers mainly as an entertainment device for consuming OTT content,» said Lenovo India managing director Shailendra Katyal. «The commercial demand has come down drastically from the Covid peaks. Manufacturers are updating their consumer tablet line up with larger screen and better audio.»
For Lenovo, the consumer contribution for tablet sales went up from 31% in 2021 and 2022 to 44% in 2023 and 61% this year.
