The market for tablets in India analyzed by CyberMedia Research (CMR) which has published its quarterly report and the scores for Q3 showed a solid uptick throughout all price ranges. Based on quarterly sales figures, sales of 5G tablets surged by 61%, those of Wi-Fi tablets by 41%, and those of 4G slates by “just” 9%.
With the Top 3 firms selling three out of every four tablets in the most recent quarter, Samsung, Lenovo, and Apple are without a doubt the market leaders.
The start of the 5G era in India, according to CMR experts, is what is driving the increase in 5G tablet shipments, and the surge is consistent with trends in the market of the smartphone. Nonetheless, Wi-Fi-only budget models dominated the best-selling Samsung, Lenovo, and Apple gadgets.
The two best-selling Samsung tablets were the Galaxy Tab A8 and Tab A7 Lite. The Tab M8 (HD) variants, both with and without LTE capabilities, accounted for half of Lenovo’s sales. The iPad 9.2 (2021) model, which is the Wi-Fi version, was the most popular device sold by Apple.
According to CMR experts, the primary driver of a record 10-15% growth in 2022 will be the consumer and enterprise desire for hybrid work. Manufacturers rely on alluring deals and competitive discounts, which is simpler for larger manufacturers like Samsung and Lenovo and enables them to maintain their top positions.
