Tablet: falling market – Altopascio.info

Reverse for the tablet market . After 2013′s incredible growth, over 50% according to data from IDC, this year the products in tablet form, with or without a keyboard combination, will be limited to an increase of 7% or so (according to IDC), but to worry is especially the outlook for 2015: the research firm TrendForce provides even a decrease of 3.5% in sales on a global scale.
One of the main problems is innovation, that manufacturers struggle to achieve stumbling into a non profitable homogeneity. Another motivation is undoubtedly the life cycle of the tablet that is much longer than the common smartphone. With cell phones that do not normally exceed 12-24 months, the tablet, however, are renewed every 3-4 years.

Even Apple, with the iPad, the market leader, has suffered this decline and along with the other manufacturers will surely find countermeasures to make up for this loss. We’ll see if the different companies will be able to develop innovative tablet that still manage to bring the enthusiasm of the early days.
