Apple and Samsung Electronics are leading the generation of tablet PCs. Based on the Tablet Market Report published by Counterpoint Research, the global tablet market has grown by 53% compared to the previous year. The growth rate of tablet markets was 19% last year.
The share of the global tablet market of Apple was 37%, and Samsung’s was 20% in the first quarter of this year. Huawei was ranked no 3 with its 11% share in last year, but its market share dropped to 5% this year. This is because that the US government has included a large number of Chinese electronics, telecommunication and drone companies including Huawei in a blacklist.
When the company is included in the blacklist, it cannot purchase patents and source technologies owned by US companies as well as parts that include US technology. In addition, the companies in the blacklist are subject to delisting. Huawei cannot release new products as it has not gained parts for smartphone and tablets.
It is predicted that Apple and Samsung Electronics will continue to dominate the market share in the second half of this year. Apple released Ipad Pro-equipped M1 chip last month.
Samsung Electronics recently released Galaxy Tab S7 Light in several European countries. Galaxy Tab S7 has gained popularity from North American, European educational institutions.
