With students and professionals increasingly relying on laptops for online classes, research, and other academic activities, the demand for reliable, high-performance devices is at an all-time high. HCPH’s recent sales report highlights this trend, showcasing consistent growth in technology product demand, even reaching the surge earlier than last year’s September since the academic calendar started earlier this year.
In 2022, Home Credit sold PHP 4.7 billion worth of laptops. This number rose to PHP 5.3 billion in 2023, marking a 12.5% year-over-year increase. On average, almost 450 laptops were sold daily last year, underscoring strong market demand driven by the growing adoption of digital learning solutions.
September 2023 proved to be a milestone month for Home Credit, with daily laptop sales reaching an impressive peak of 1,200 units sold. This surge aligns with the back-to-school season as families prepare for the academic year and equip students with essential technology.
“Our sales figures clearly reflect a strong and growing demand for gadgets that support students’ learning needs, especially laptops. Over the past two years, we’ve seen a notable increase in laptop sales from July through September. The peak in September highlights our strategic approach to leveraging seasonal demand, particularly the back-to-school season when the need for new or upgraded gadgets rises,” said Sheila Paul, Chief Marketing Officer of Home Credit Philippines.
Anticipating a similar trend this year, Home Credit has mobilized a campaign with its partners who offer laptops, smartphones, and other gadgets essential for students’ education. The company recently launched the Sulit-Skwela deals, designed to simplify the process of upgrading to the latest gadgets and ensuring students are well-prepared for the new school year.
“As digital learning continues to evolve, the intersection of technology and education will only become more prominent. Gadgets, especially laptops, will remain at the forefront of this evolution, supporting diverse learning methods and enhancing educational outcomes. We are excited to play a role in shaping the future of learning. By assisting parents in providing students with access to technology, we are investing in every learner’s potential and the future of our society,” Paul added.
