A research report released by Strategy Analytics, a market research organization, shows that although smart phones have become larger and more essential in daily life, the real productivity tools are still laptops and tablets. As the epidemic has stimulated short-term demand and will have an impact on the long-term, the mobile computing device market has fully recovered after years of declining shipments and revenue.

The Strategy Analytics report pointed out that the new crown epidemic has not yet ended, and the demand for mobile computing devices is still very strong. In 2020, the total revenue of tablets and laptops will increase by 25% year-on-year, and will increase by another 17% in 2021. During the forecast period, the household ownership rate of mobile computing devices will continue to grow, reaching 39% of the total global households, and the Windows 11/post-new crown epidemic era update cycle will drive market revenue to increase from US$197 billion in 2020 to 2025 241 billion US dollars; mobile computing device shipments will reach 458 million in 2026.
