Description
According to CRI, there are two categories of portable computers exported by China: Laptops and Tablets.
From 2017 to 2019, China’s laptop computer export volume was relatively stable, maintaining at about 140 million units per year.
At the beginning of 2020, the economy of various industries was generally hit by the COVID-19, but laptop exports increased by 9.46% due to the WFH (work from home).

Different from laptops, in general, the export volume of China’s tablet computers showed an overall downward trend. Besides the export price of tablets is lower than that of laptops, and it fluctuates more. In 2017, the average price of tablets was USD 168.82, and in 2018, it increased by 16.28% to USD 196.31. The average price in the first five months of 2020 is USD 224.08.
Most of Chinese laptops were exported to the United States, while tablets were mainly exported to Hong Kong and the United States.
According to CRI, more than one third of laptops came from Chongqing province, then Jiangsu and Sichuan.
As for tablets, nearly half of them were from Guangdong.
China has no special restrictions on the export of computers, but the United States imposed an additional 15% tariff on computers from China during the Sino-US trade war.
