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.”

Global tablet shipments grew 53% YoY in Q1 2021 fuelled by the pandemic – Counterpoint

From China to India to the EMEA region, the tablet market has experienced a resurgence of sort propelled by the COVID 19 pandemic. Before this resurgence, the tablet market had been experiencing dwindling fortunes since the emergence of large display-packing smartphones. The resurgence started last year as a result of the lockdown which gave rise to the need to move classes online, hold virtual meetings, and work remotely. To get a clear idea of the growth level, China recorded its biggest growth in the tablet market since 2014 in Q3 2020.

Market research firm Counterpoint has now revealed that the global tablet market equally recorded a substantial 19% YoY growth in 2020. The industry saw demand for large-screen mobile devices spiral upwards as a result of the need to work remotely, as well as take online classes during the stay-at-home period. Even as restrictions are being eased up, the demand for tablets isn’t looking like what will come down soon. Counterpoint also reports that the industry grew by a staggering 53% YoY in Q1 2021 after reaching a five-year high in Q4 2020. However, the shipments fell by 22% on a Quarter-on-Quarter basis but that is due to the first quarter being an off-season period.

Samsung and Apple which have sustained their tablet business over the years recorded the biggest growth during the period as they expanded their market share in 2020 following the rising demand. This was made even easier for the duo since most OEMs had either closed or downsized their tablet market. Xiaomi, for instance, haven’t launched a new model since 2018 when the Mi Pad 4 was launched. The plight of Huawei which hitherto had a significant share of the market, also gifted some more market shares to Apple and Samsung.

The report also shows that Apple’s iPad shipments grew by 33% worldwide in 2020 compared to 2019, making it the market leader. The US company also saw an increase in its market share in Q1 2021 to 37%. The Cupertino-based company recorded impressive performance in all major regions globally but that of Japan continued to hover around an all-time high.

Tablet and Chromebook continue to see surge in shipments Q1 2021: Report

Sean — Mon, 03 May 2021 12:49:54 +0000

While the world is still combating the Coronavirus pandemic, the sales of tablets and Chromebooks have remained robust. The pandemic had initially fueled the demand for these products back in 2020, which are still seeing a surge in the first quarter of this year.

According to an IDC report, tablets saw an excellent first quarter with its shipments reaching 39.9 million units in Q1 2021. This marked a 55.2 percent year on year growth, which is a level of rise not seen since the third quarter of 2013 when the tablet market had grown by 56.9 percent year on year. On the other hand, Chromebooks shipments also remained robust with over 13 million units during the same time, up from 2.8 million units from back in the first quarter of last year.

Anuroop Nataraj, research analyst at IDC added that “While vaccine rollouts and businesses returning to offices may slow down the work-from-home trend, we are still far from returning to ‘normal’ working conditions and hence the demand for tablets, especially detachables, is expected to continue for a while. However, as buyers increasingly turn towards competing products, such as thin and light notebooks for work or entertainment and Chromebooks for education, the future of tablets will remain under constant competition, leaving the heavy lifting to larger brands such as Apple, Samsung, Amazon, and Microsoft.”

Furthermore, the growth of the tablet market was also driven by schools across the globe showing strong preference for the product due to its form factor, low cost, and easy manageability. Meanwhile, another IDC analyst Jitesh Ubrani added that “”There’s no doubt that Chromebooks have supplanted tablets in many education markets. However, price and the dependence on cloud services have prevented them from becoming mainstays in all regions.”

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.

Global Tablet Shipments rose 10.5%QoQ in Q3 2020; will hit an 13-Quarter high in Q4: Digitimes

The latest Digitimes Research says that Global Tablet shipments will peak in Q4 2020. To be precise, it is reportedly going to hit a 13-quarter high towards the end of the year(Q4 2020).

The report predicts that Tablet shipments will rise 7.3% QoQ(Quarter-over-Quarter) in Q4 2020 globally. Such a result will reportedly be due to a steady rise in orders from SEA(South East Asia), India. And Latin America(LA) for educational purposes. Total tablet shipments globally in Q3 was about 43.83 million units with 10.5%QoQ and 0.4%YoY(Year-on-Year) rise. In this, non-Apple vendors dominated with aggressive pricing.

However, Apple leads the pack that has Samsung, Huawei, Amazon, and Lenovo in the next 4 places of Top vendors. Besides, Lenovo will likely topple Huawei, and Amazon to capture the third spot by expanding shipments in Q4. Back in Q2, Lenovo and Huawei were the fastest-growing tablet brands. However, Huawei is now hit by the US-sanctions which might bit it more at least in the near future.

Further, the report says that 10.1-inch and above-sized tablets shipped below 80% in Q3 as demands for lower sizes rose. However, when the pandemic was at peak, higher sized-tablets were in great demand for education, and media purposes. That said, If the report is true, this will further fall below 65% in Q4 due to new attractive offerings from Samsung, Microsoft(8x-11x size).

Additionally, shipments of ODMs(Original Design Manufacturers) in Taiwan like Compal Electronics rose to 40% as they clinched onto the new iPad Air 4. However, Foxconn slipped in Q3 albeit hovering just above 50%. iPad Air 3‘s shipments will reportedly die down more meaning Foxconn might fall below the said percent in Q4. Besides, rivals like Quanta and Pegatron will sore up in Q4 thanks to the new Microsoft Surface series of Tablets.

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.

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.
