Samsung Electronics remained the world’s second-largest tablet computer vendor in the first quarter of the year, a report has showed, amid the market’s robust growth driven by the stay-at-home economy. <\/p>\n
The South Korean giant logged a market share of 20 percent in the January-March period, after shipping 8 million Galaxy Tab tablets, up 60.8 percent from a year ago, according to market researcher International Data Corp. (IDC).<\/p>\n
Apple defended its top position with a 31.7 percent share as its iPad shipments jumped 64.3 percent on-year to 12.7 million units in the first quarter.<\/p>\n
Lenovo came in third with a 9.4 percent share followed by Amazon.com with an 8.7 percent share.<\/p>\n
Worldwide tablet shipments increased 55.2 percent on-year to 39.9 million units in the first quarter, IDC data showed.<\/p>\n
“Growth of this magnitude has not been seen since the third quarter of 2013 when the tablet market grew by 56.9 percent year over year,” it said.<\/p>\n
“While vaccine rollouts and businesses returning to offices may slow down the work-from-home trend, we are still far from returning to ‘normal’ working conditions and hence the demand for tablets, especially detachables, is expected to continue for a while.”<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Samsung was the No. 5 player in the Chromebook market, which includes notebooks running Google’s Chrome operating system, in the first three months of 2021, reports Yonhap news agency.<\/p>\n
IDC data showed Samsung had an 8 percent market share in the first quarter after shipping 1 million Chromebooks, up 496 percent from a year ago.<\/p>\n
HP Inc. was the leader in the Chromebook sector with a 33.5 percent share, followed by Lenovo with 25.6 percent, Acer Group with 14.5 percent and Dell Technologies Inc with 11.3 percent. <\/p>\n
Global Chromebook shipments expanded 357.1 percent to 13 million units in the first quarter, IDC said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
