Worldwide Business Use Tablet Forecast, 2025-2029

This IDC study presents the five-year forecast for the worldwide business use of tablet shipments by operating system and user type (consumer, individual liable, and corporate liable). It is part of IDC's continuing research with respect to mobile devices. Findings in this document are based on information gathered from primary and secondary sources during the past six months."Business use tablets remain a core and steadfast mobile form factor in today's enterprise and excel in established use cases where business end users and customers need to interact with large displays of visual data," says Bryan Bassett, research manager for IDC's Enterprise Mobility: Workspace and Deployment Strategies program. "With tablet refresh rates pushing well beyond three years in 2025, ample opportunities are present for expanded customer-facing deployments in retail, healthcare, and hospitality."
