Canalis: Sales of tablets and laptops doubled in the first quarter of 2021

Canalis, a company that analyzes the market for portable gadgets and PCs, published a report on sales figures for tablets, PCs and laptops in the first quarter of 2021, comparing it with statistics for the first quarter of 2020. The company’s statistics show that the sales of products in the first quarter of 2021 have doubled compared to the same period in 2020.

Meanwhile, Chromebook grew the most, with sales growth of 275% in the first quarter of 2021 compared to the first quarter of 2020. Canalis has separated Chromebook-related statistics from other statistics for a specific reason; Because Chromebooks are hybrid laptops that can be detached from the keyboard and used instead of a tablet. In addition, they have different operating systems and use Chrome OS instead of Windows operating systems.

The market for Chromebooks can also be different. In fact, most Chromebook customers are students; But regular users also turn to Chromebooks for applications such as web browsing. Tablets experienced a growth of 51.8% compared to the first quarter of 2020 in the first quarter of 2021. However, it is said that if the strict US sanctions did not affect Huawei, the Chinese company, with its strong presence in the US market, could have helped significantly increase the sales of tablets.
