“Despite questions remaining about data disclosure in 2010 and 2011, Samsung’s release of tablet sales data this past quarter is a good sign for the mobile computing market,” says senior practice director Jeff Orr.“Whether due to its confidence in the economy, its own business, or a combination of reasons, Samsung continues to demonstrate tablet growth as its 2013 retail push in North America and Western Europe pays off.”
The report says Apple and Samsung continue to dominate the tablet market, with 71 percent market share of the 41.3 million branded tablets in the first calendar quarter of 2014. As far as the operating systems are concerned, Android leads the market with 56.3 percent, while iOS resides at 31.6 percent. It seems the future is bright for Samsung. The company is also rumored to be working on a new tablet dubbed as the Galaxy Tab S, which is expected to see daylight in the coming weeks.
