Tablet market

Tablet computers are mobile devices that give users access to many of the functions of standard desktops or laptops but come in a smaller, more portable package. The technology has been around since the 1990’s but hadn’t experienced widespread success until Apple’s release of the iPad in 2010. After that, more players entered the tablet market, manufcaturing and selling their devices. In 2022, roughly 163 million tablets were shipped worldwide.

Tablet brands

Apple is the world’s largest tablet computer vendor, regularly recording total yearly shipments of over 40 million units. Samsung, Huawei, and Amazon are the market’s next most successful vendors, each shipping well over 10 million units per year. While Microsoft may not be among the market’s most popular sellers of tablets, it is heavily involved in the tablet industry through the use of its operating systems, which accounts for a small portion of the total market share.
