Leading companies failed to grow in the tablet market
iPadOS holds 38% of the market, but tablet sales are down 7% from a year ago. The share of Windows fell to 11% (sales fell 14%), but the share of other operating systems rose to 2%. Quantitatively, 69% growth in devices sold this quarter corresponds to 0.6 million devices sold. This is mostly associated with Huawei and its HarmonyOS operating system.
In terms of brands, Apple continues to lead with a share of 38%, followed by Samsung (18%), Lenovo (9%), Amazon (9%) and Huawei (4%). At the same time, the tablet market overall declined by 15% and none of the companies on the leaderboard showed growth.
