Tablet sales projected to top 100 million in 2012
- Middle East: Sunday, August 26 - 2012 at 10:26
According to a report by ABI Research, the global market for tablet computers is extending its solid growth and will likely top 100 million in 2012, AFP has reported. The second quarter set a new record for tablet shipments of nearly 25 million units, up 36% from the prior quarter and 77% year-over-year, the report said. Apple iPad shipments represented nearly 69% of the total, according to a preliminary assessment by ABI. "Most impressive about Apple's 17 million tablet shipments in the second quarter was it nearly matched 2010 total worldwide shipments of 17.3 million for all vendors," Jeff Orr, an ABI analyst, told AFP. South Korea's Samsung was the second biggest selling with over eight percent and followed by Amazon and Taiwan's Asus, while Dell and LG pulled out of the market.
