According to the agency, the shipment volume of the Chinese tablet market in the second quarter was 7.96 million units, a year-on-year decrease of 4.4%.

The International Data Corporation (IDC) has released its quarterly tracking report on the Chinese tablet market for the second quarter of 2026. The data shows that in the second quarter of 2026, the shipment volume of the Chinese tablet market was 7.96 million units, a year-on-year decline of 4.4%, which is a slight narrowing of the drop compared to the first quarter. However, from a market performance perspective, the market pressure has not eased; in fact, it has further intensified. The significant growth in the commercial market mainly stems from demand being brought forward due to price increase expectations, while the consumer market has experienced a year-on-year decline of 9.8% due to rising costs and factors such as the premature release of demand. On the surface, the market's decline has narrowed, but in reality, rising costs are accelerating the transmission to demand.
