According to a Strategy Analytics report, the Cupertino based giant along with Intel, Qualcomm, MediaTek, and Samsung, achieved the top five sports for tablet application processor revenue share in Q2 2021. However, the iPhone maker was able to take a huge lead over its competitors with a 58 percent revenue share with its iPads. Meanwhile, Intel that took the second spot only accounted for a revenue share of 14 percent during the same period.

Sravan Kundojjala, the Associate Director of Handset Component Technologies service at Strategy Analytics stated that “After registering five straight quarters of shipment growth, the tablet AP market declined 8 percent year on year in unit terms Q2 2021. However, compared to Q2 2019, the tablet AP market saw a 23 percent shipment growth. Despite shipment weakness, tablet AP revenues continue to hold up well, driven by robust average selling prices.”

Kundojjala further added that “ MediaTek saw its tablet AP shipments grow 19 percent in Q2 2021, driven by increased traction for its Helio P chips. Strategy Analytics estimates that MediaTek is on track to ship its highest ever annual tablet AP shipments in 2021. The x86 vendor Intel, on the other hand, grew its tablet AP shipments 22 percent in Q2 2021, thanks to Windows-based tablets. The mobile computing market will see significant activity in 2022 with AMD, Apple, Google, Intel, MediaTek, Microsoft, NVIDIA, Qualcomm and Samsung LSI all ramping up their computing efforts.”

China Tablet PC market sees steady rise in shipments in H1 2021: IDC

While the Coronavirus pandemic had initially caused a decline in global tablet shipments back in early 2020, the following lockdowns drove up sales of these larger screen devices due to the online shift of education and work cultures. Now, a new report has revealed that the tablet market in China has managed to see a steady growth in terms of shipments in H1 2021, despite the global market seeing a fall in momentum.

IDC‘s Global Personal Computing Device Quarterly Tracking Report has revealed that the the tablet market has grown by 3.9 percent year on year. This marks a total shipments of 40.4 million units. Although, in the first half of this year, the global tablet computer market shipped 80.35 million units, marking a 24.4 percent year on year growth. During Q2 2021, the tablet market in China shipped around 7.15 million units, which was a rise of about 8.3 percent year on year.

In other words, this is indicative of a steady growth. However, looking at the Chinese market’s performance in the first half of this year, it can be observed that the region saw shipments reach a total of 13.4 million units, which marks a notable 29.7 percent growth over the same period last year. This also implies that China’s tablet market saw a growth rate higher than the global market.

Anuroopa Nataraj, senior analyst of IDC’s Global Mobile Device Tracking Project added that “Although there is still a shortage in the supply chain, there are still plenty of opportunities for tablets in the education market. Online learning has achieved rapid development and has promoted the digital transformation of the education field. Although there is no single solution in the world, many emerging markets continue to increase the use of Android tablets, while schools in some developed markets such as the United States and Canada prefer Chromebooks.”

Samsung is the top tablet seller in Europe, Middle East, and Africa in Q4 2020

Samsung Electronics has emerged as the top brand for tablets in Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) in the fourth quarter of last year. This arrives as the pandemic has caused a growth in popularity for devices with larger screens as the world shifts to the digital spheres for work and education.

According to a BusinessStandard report, the South Korean tech giant shipped over 4 million tablets in the EMEA regions in the period between October and December 2020. The company held a market share of 28.1 percent in the region, as per an industry analytics based firm, IDC. These figures are up from a year prior, when the company only shipped 3.2 million units of tablets and had a market share of 24.8 percent. As per IDC, “Samsung held first position in EMEA due to its positive and strong growth across the region and mainly driven by its presence in digitization projects in schools in Central and Eastern European countries.”

Furthermore, the tablet market in Central and Eastern European regions also saw a market growth of 32.3 percent year on year. This surge was higher than the one witnessed in both Middle East and Africa, which saw just a 10.3 percent growth. Meanwhile, the Western Europe’s tablet market only saw a growth of 7.7 percent year on year. In the tablet market, Samsung was closely followed by Apple, which shipped 3.5 million tablets in the EMEA markets within the final quarter of last year.

This also marked a rise of 17.1 percent from a year ago and had the company hold a market share of 24.6 percent in the region. As per Nikolina Jurisic, a senior research manager at IDC Europe, “Shortages and price increases in notebooks are urging consumers to shift their focus to tablets as lockdowns and stay at home measures remained in place. Online schooling and digitalization projects in education are visible across the region, with the largest recorded in Romania, Kazakhstan, Turkey, and South Africa.”

Tablet shipments to decline by 31% worldwide in Q1 2021: Report

Tablet shipments across the globe are expected to face a decline in the first quarter of this year. A new report has suggested that in Q1 2021, global shipments for large screen devices will fall significantly by 31 percent.

According to a DigiTimesResearch report, global tablet shipments had climbed to a 13 quarter high during the fourth quarter of last year, reaching 51.56 million units. However, this figure is expected to decline by 31 percent during the first quarter of this year. Shipments of tablets last year rose by 17.6 percent sequentially in Q4 2020 and by 19.3 percent annually year on year. This surge was backed by growing demand for large screen devices for online education and work from home demands due to the pandemic.

With the demand for tablets growing, various vendors also raised their component orders with their suppliers over fears of the deterioration of chip supply/shortages that might affect their supply chain in the first half of 2021. Apple launching the 10.2 inch iPad had also resulted in the bump in tablet shipments during the final quarter of last year. The fall in shipment numbers in this quarter is also due to the period traditionally being a slower season for tablet sales.

In 2020, the global tablet shipments reached 159.76 million units, which marked a year on year rise primarily due to the pandemic. Although, the shipments are expected to face an on year decline this year because of component shortages within the first half of the year. At the moment, the lead times for new orders for tablet chips is around 20 weeks. In other words, the supply shortage is unlikely to recover until the end of the second half of 2021.

During 2020, the PC market, including tablets, saw growth across the globe. The Chinese company, Lenovo, led the market, and was also closely followed by the Cupertino based giant Apple that led the global tablet market.

According to a Canalys report, the global PC market saw a rise for the third consecutive quarter and also marked a notable annual growth as well. In the fourth quarter of last year, shipments reached 143.7 million units, marking a rise of 35 percent year on year. Meanwhile, the total shipments for 2020 grew by 17 percent, reaching 458.2 million units. This marks the highest volume since 2015. For those unaware, the global PC market (including tablets) had been on a decline for the last few years, but changes in market trend backed by the Coronavirus pandemic led to its recovery.

This had the Chinese tech giant, Lenovo, to benefit with its shipments reaching 28.8 million units in Q4 2020 and an annual shipment of 87 million units. This indicates an annual growth of 41 percent and 19 percent respectively. Meanwhile, Apple followed close behind with 26.4 million shipments during the final quarter and an annual shipment of 81.3 percent, marking a 42 percent and 23 percent annual growth year on year.

Talking strictly about tablets, Apple dominated both the final quarter and annual shipments (19.2 million and 58.5 million units respectively). Meanwhile, other OEMs like Samsung, Huawei, and Lenovo made the top 5 rankings. The South Korean tech giant arrived second in both the fourth quarter and the whole year, with 9.9 million and 31 million shipments respectively. Notably, even Chromebooks performed well last year due to the growth of online education and remote working.

Canalys has published a report on Global PC Market Q3 2020. This report not only consists of notebooks and desktops but also includes tablets.

As per the report, Lenovo led the overall PC market by shipping 23.5 million units. Whereas, Apple, HP, Dell, and Samsung came second, third, fourth, and fifth respectively. Apple and Samsung made the top 5 list solely because of their tablets. This clearly explains the tablet market’s 43% YoY growth as the shipments reached 44.3 million units.

Talking about client PC products, Chromebooks performed exceptionally well by growing 122% YoY with shipments of 9.5 million units. Their success was mostly because of educational institutions and SMBs. HP was the market leader by shipping 3.2 million units, followed by Lenovo, Dell, Acer, and Asus. However, Lenovo was the best-performing brand with a whopping 351.2% YoY growth.

Coming to tablets, unsurprisingly, Apple led the market with 15.2 million units in shipments. Whereas, Samsung in second place only shipped 9 million units. Further, Huawei, Amazon, and Lenovo captured third, fourth, and fifth positions respectively. Interestingly, Huawei continued to remain strong in Europe even with the lack of GMS (Google Mobile Services) on its tablets.

Also, it is worth noting that Q3 2020 was the only quarter other than Q2 2020 in which the tablet market grew since 2015. So we can say that the pandemic resurrected tablets from the dead after five years.

Last but not least, the overall desktop market declined by 32% YoY, however, AIO (All-in-One) category grew by 7% YoY.

Apple led the global tablet market in Q3 2020; Huawei slipped to fourth place

Sudarshan Ravichandran — Fri, 30 Oct 2020 10:55:04 +0000

Due to COVID-19 restrictions, the demand for tablets continued to sustain even in Q3 2020. According to the latest report by IDC, the global tablet shipments reached 47.6 million units in the last quarter with 24.9% YoY growth. Apple continued to be the market leader, whereas Huawei slipped to fourth place.

As per the report, Apple shipped 13.9 million iPads in Q3 2020. The company’s growth increased by 17.4% YoY and captured 29.2% of the market. The iPad 7th Generartion (2019) and iPad 8th Generation (2020) shipped the most

In the second place with 9.4 million units, Samsung’s Galaxy Tab shipments improved by 89.2% YoY and the company accounted for 19.8% of the market. During this period, the brand introduced Galaxy Tab S7+ 5G as one of the first global 5G-enabled tablets.

Further in third place, Amazon acquired an 11.4% market share with 5.4 million units in shipments despite declining by 1.2% YoY. The Fire HD 8 2020 accounted for most of the shipments, closely followed by the 10.1-inch model. The Kids Edition of both these tablets also did well.

Despite 32.9% YoY growth, Huawei dropped to the fourth position with 4.9 million shipments and a 10.2% market share. The company’s decline was mostly due to Amazon’s better performance than Q2 2020. Nevertheless, Huawei’s tablet business is uncertain without component suppliers and GMS (Google Mobile Services).

Last but not least, Lenovo continued to remain in fifth place with an 8.4% market share. The company shipped 4.1 million units with 62.4% YoY growth.

Global Tablet Shipments For Q2 2018 Expected To Hit New Quarterly Low – Report

Jed John Ikoba — Thu, 03 May 2018 09:11:20 +0000

The tablet market is expected to continue its downward spiral in the second quarter of 2018, DigiTimes speculates. As at the end of the fourth quarter of the year, the tablet market had declined year-over-year for 13 quarters straight. In Q4 2017, the shipment dropped by 7.9 percent year-over-year with an estimated 49.6 million units shipped worldwide, compared to 53.8 million units in the same quarter last year.

The decline continued in Q1 2018 where the global tablet shipments hit a new quarterly low of 33 million units. Shipments fell 28.2% sequentially and 14.9% year-on-year. This is due partly to insufficient stimulation from the non-Apple tablets during the traditional off season and partly to white-box makers’ clients adjusting inventory. This fall is expected to go down further to a new low of 31.06 million units in the second quarter, according to DigiTimes Research.

The sharp decline in tablet sales is expected to continue despite Apple launching new iPads for 2018, as Apple has failed to offer sharp price cuts in accordance with market expectations. Apple launched education-use iPads in the first quarter at a unit price of US$299, which come with Apple Pencil and software offering free learning resources and teaching instructions. However, Apple’s tablet shipments in the second quarter are expected to pick up significantly as it is slated to launch new iPad Pro devices for 2018 in the quarter. Amazon’s shipments are also likely to surge in preparations for Amazon Prime Day on July 10. But due to a scarcity of models from other non-Apple brands to support the second-quarter slow season, global tablet shipments from brand suppliers are estimated to see a slight sequential fall of 2.7% in the second quarter of 2018. DigiTimes estimates that the overall second-quarter global tablet shipments will further drop by 6.24% in Q2 to reach 31.06 million units.
