Under the influence of the new coronavirus epidemic, the consumer electronics industry has been hit hard, but the tablet has become a market bright spot.
"Several days ago, I sold my mobile phone in the circle of friends, and the door was left out. Now a group of parents suddenly came to ask the iPad, and we were all stunned," TechWeb quoted a consumer electronics channel company as saying.
Under the influence of the pneumonia epidemic, tablet computers have been ignited along with online education. According to data from JD.com self-operated stores, the current models of iPads and most of Huawei's tablet computers have been out of stock.
Upstream of consumer electronics, emergency stocking has begun. As the main foundry company of Huawei and Xiaomi tablets, Wingtech's tablet production line has been operating at full capacity.
Wingtech stated that there is no problem with the supply of upstream raw materials. Many raw materials for mobile phones and tablets can be used universally. This year's production capacity is at least 10 million units. If demand can continue, it may reach 15 million units.
Wingtech predicts that tablet PC shipments will grow by more than 80% this year.
What needs to be noticed by the industry is whether this is a one-time demand that erupts in the short term or whether it is about to become the mainstream of continuous growth.
The above-mentioned high-level online platform forecast: "After the epidemic, the number of online course users may decline, but users have received market education, and the demand for online education will definitely continue to grow." This also means that online education will become Emerging markets for the consumer electronics industry.
