2026 APAC Market Briefing: PH, TH, MY, ID, TW & AU.

Asia-Pacific is not a monolith.

Philippines & Thailand: High-Volume National Tenders & OEM Bundles

The Philippines and Thailand represent the largest public-sector device rollouts in Southeast Asia, driven by national modernization budgets and multi-hundred-thousand tablet and laptop procurements.

Philippines: Large-scale national agency tablet rollouts (such as census/statistical fleets and municipal/national education programs) require aggressive multi-year TCO, Android Enterprise (AER) factory ROM persistence, and strong local system-integrator consortiums.
Thailand: Backed by the multi-billion-baht Anywhere Anytime digital device initiative and a booming international school corridor in Bangkok, buyers prioritize multi-OS flexibility (iPadOS, ChromeOS, Android, Windows) and Thai-localized support.
