The latest report is out on global tablet sales as well as market share details. Unfortunately, the overall market saw a 4 percent year-on-year decline in the last quarter with total shipments of 38.2 million units. Despite the slowdown, Apple managed to grow its shipments, with the company’s iPad market share for Q3 2019 growing in the process.
With 10.1 million tablet sales in the July-September period, Apple’s iPad market share for Q3 2019 increased to 26.5 percent from 24.4 percent in the year-ago quarter. Overall, the shipments saw a 4 percent year-over-year growth. While that’s certainly impressive, Amazon saw a much larger 141 percent spike in sales, with sales totaling 5.3 million units. While Apple certainly needs to watch out, it appears that Amazon’s success largely hinges on low retail prices and sales. On the other hand, it seems that the Cupertino giant’s customers don’t mind shelling out a huge amount to get their hands on its pricier slates.
