Have you owned a
tablet or a laptop in your daily life?
No matter whom you
are, a student or an ordinary office worker, a tablet has been a necessity in
modern life. With the popularity of network, most of families can easily enjoy the
convenience that the internet has brought for us.
This statistic shows
the number of tablet shipments worldwide from the second quarter of 2010 to the
second quarter of 2015. In the first quarter of 2015, worldwide tablet
shipments stood at 76.1 million units. Almost 220 million units of tablets were
shipped worldwide in 2013, with shipments peaking at just fewer than 77 million
units in the final quarter of the year.
Of these shipments
throughout the year, 58.5 million were shipped in the Asia/Pacific region where
has become a hit in the demand of tablets. Shipments in this region are
expected to increase further in the future. Europe is the second largest
regional market with 61 million tablet shipments in 2013 and a further 101.7
million forecast to be shipped in 2017.
Android overtook
Apple’s iOS as the most popular operating system in
2012 and as of the second quarter of 2014, almost 37 percent of all tablets
that were shipped worldwide ran on the Android operating system. iOS remains
the second most popular operating system, holding a shipment share of 13.3
percent.
Apple is the leading
tablet vendor, holding a share of 22.8 percent of global tablet shipments in
the third quarter of 2014. The company has nevertheless seen its market share
in the tablet market decline sharply since over 60 percent of all tablet
shipments were iPads in the second quarter of 2012. This has coincided with the
rise of Samsung, whose tablets run on Android, which has seen its market share rise from 7.6 percent to 18.3 percent
in the same time period. Overall Samsung shipped just short of 10 million units
of tablets in the third quarter of 2013, in comparison to the 12.3 million
shipped by Apple, which generated the company revenue of
almost 5.9 billion U.S. dollars.
