| iPad Market Share |
It appears
that the market share for the iPad of Apple is bigger compared to the combined
share of all of rivals in the market. According to HIS iSuppli, the iPad market
share is around 70 percent for the second quarter while its closest rival, the
Samsung Galaxy Tab only has 9.2 percent of the entire tablet market.
The data
released by the research company showed that 17 million units of the iPad of
Apple for the second quarter compared to 2.3 million units shipped for the
Samsung Galaxy Tab. The third and the fourth slots were taken by Amazon and
Asus respectively. Amazon garnered only 4.2 percent of the tablet market while
2.8 percent went to Asus. This means the iPad market share is over two times
bigger compared to its competitors.
According to
Rhoda Alexander, the tablet and monitor research director of the company, the
iPad market share gives indications that the company has made all the suitable
moves to dominate the market. The iPad
market share may be further increased with reports on the upcoming release of
the iPad Mini.
Reports on
the upcoming release of the seven-inch model of the iPad will allow the company
to the iPad market share to expand to the market for smaller-sized tablets.
Even as
Microsoft and Google are set to challenge the dominance of Apple in the tablet
market, industry watchers are expecting the company to maintain its share of
the market. In fact another research company has indicated that the iPad market
share will be over sixty percent for the year, which is an increase from its
share from last year.
Users of the
older models of the iPad have also been tempted to upgrade to the current
models of the device due to the inclusion of the Retina screen display and 4G LTE
network support for the current model of the device. This has allowed the iPad
market share to be maintained by the company.
The iPad
market share has made up most of the 24.4 million units delivered around the
world for the second quarter. This is an increase from the 20.3 million units
delivered in the first quarter of the year.
