The growth of the technological industry in China can also be seen by the increase in popularity of smartphones, with over half of the population forecast to own a smart device by 2018.
In 2013, Apple’s iOS was the most dominant tablet operating system in China based on its share of internet traffic, with over 81 percent of internet visits made on iPads. However, Apple saw its market share in China fall dramatically in 2014 as Android became the most used tablet operating system for surfing the internet. The Google-backed company held a share of 48.5 percent in the country in 2014 whilst iOS’s share more than halved to 40.3 percent.
The forecasted growth in tablet users in China reflects the global trend. In 2014, there were over 900 million tablet users worldwide, equating to just over 20 percent of the world’s population and this figure is projected to reach 1.43 billion users by 2018.
