Amazon climbed to third place on the back of strong holiday season demand, shipping 6.5 million tablets. Lenovo was the fastest-growing vendor in Q4, increasing sell-in volume by 125 percent to reach 5.6 million units. Huawei was the only vendor in the top five to see a decline in shipments on a YoY basis. 

The Q4 2020 brought continued strength to tablets. Shipments hit an all-time high of 52.8 million units. Overall, a total of 160.6 million units were shipped with a 28 percent growth over 2019.

“The growth momentum enjoyed by tablets shows just how important easy access to computing power has become in the current time,” Canalys Analyst Ishan Dutt said. 

“Their versatility across, not just different form factors and price points, but also connectivity options, make them an ideal device across a variety of use-cases, from simple slates for e-learning and content consumption all the way to high-performance detachables for productivity users who are adapting to spending a larger proportion of time at home,” he further added.
