In the first quarter of this year, the tablet apps processor market grew by 33 percent, reaching 761 million US Dollars; and Apple dominated this segment with a massive 59 percent revenue share in the market.
According to a StrategyAnalytics report, Apple, Intel, Qualcomm, MediaTek, and Samsung LSI held that the top five spots for the tablet applications processor (AP) market in terms of revenue share in Q1 2021. The Cupertino based giant lead this segment with a dominating 59 percent revenue share. On the other hand, Intel only had a 14 percent revenue share while Qualcomm accounted for just 10 percent.
Sravan Kundojjala, Associate Director of Handset Component Technologies at Strategy Analystics added that the Cupertino based giant “increased its tablet AP revenue share to 59 percent in Q1 2021 – the company’s highest share in the past nine years. Its tablet AP revenue grew 60 percent year on year in Q1 2021, driven by new 5nm based A14 Bionic and the M1 chip. The pandemic driven demand also helped.”
He also stated that “MediaTek maintained its lead in non iPad tablets in unit terms, thanks to its design wins at Amazon, Lenovo, Samsung, Asus and others. Strategy Analytics estimates that MediaTek’s tablet AP shipments grew 92 percent year on year in Q1 2021, driven by its cellular and non cellular tablet APs. However, we believe that the chip maker lags in terms of average selling prices (ASP). As a result, the company posted lower revenue share compared to its unit share.”
