The tablet market has declined. Android is led by Samsung, but Apple sells much more
There are not many Android tablets on the market lately, so it is probably no surprise that Samsung clearly dominates in this area. Although it only launched two tablet models this year – the Galaxy Tab S7 FE and the Galaxy Tab A7 Lite. For comparison, last year brought up to 6 models. Maybe there’s a chip crisis behind it, maybe something else. The message is brought by Sammobile.
Samsung continues to be the market leader in Android tablets, number two overall
The well-known analytical company Canalys writes in its report for the third quarter of 2021 that the entire tablet market fell by 15% in the mentioned quarter. Samsung alone has seen a 20% drop.
In the third quarter of 2021, 37.7 million tablets were sold worldwide, from all manufacturers combined. Samsung sold 7.2 million, which is less than a year ago (9.03 million).
The market for laptops, Chromebooks and tablets as such also declined. That’s up to 27% in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA), 14% in China, 24% in Sev. America and only 1% in Latin America. Asia has even seen an increase of up to 23%.
Looking at the tablet market as a whole, Samsung finished second to Apple with a 19.1% share. Apple gained up to 40.4%, followed by Len, Amazon, Huawei, who gained 11.3%, 7.4% and 6.6%.
