A new Worldwide Tablet Market Forecast Report from Infinite Research cites the tablet computer market will grow rapidly over the next 5 years. 16.1 million units were sold in 2010 and this is expected to stand around 147.2 million units in 2015.
According to the report, demands of today’s mobile society are the key driver behind the growth rate, with both individuals and business keen to adopt what is effectively a bridge between a laptop and a smartphone.
“Tablet adoption is occurring at an even faster pace than the historic rates set by peer devices such as smartphones, computers, mp3 players, game consoles, and DVD players” said Mark Ritorto, President, of Infinite Research.
The tablet computer industry has already established an ecosystem and robust industry, with original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), component suppliers, software developers, service providers, and IP and content owners all profiting from it.
The tablet industry reinvented itself last year thanks largely to the Apple iPad, and subsequently, more companies are now releasing tablets on to the market.
