|February 28, 2025
India shipped 5.73 million tablet units (including detachable and slate tablets) in 2024, marking a 42.8% year-over-year (YoY) increase, according to an IDC report.
The growth in tablet sales can be attributed to improvements in Android tablets, including better cameras, software updates, and enhanced app integration. As a result, these tablets are becoming the preferred choice for light productivity tasks and entertainment, attracting a segment of PC buyers. The report also highlighted that the detachable tablets (with a keyboard that can be removed or attached) and slate tablets (touch-screen tablets without a detachable keyboard) grew 30% and 47.2% YoY, respectively.
