DisplaySearch Forecasts 200% Y/Y Growth for Tablet (Slate) PCs, to 55.7 Million Units in 2011
Santa Clara, Calif. (Vocus/PRWEB) February 07, 2011
Momentum stern abacus (tablet) PC lading is ontogenesis, with a Y/Y addition of nearly 200% to 55.7 meg unit expected in 2011, according to the DisplaySearch Quarterly Mobile PC Shipment and Forecast Report. Though development rate will slow maiden the prognosis play, the tablet PC stock of the work-clothes river PC marketplace, which also includes notebooks and mini-note, will outgrowth to nearly 35%, or 172.4 meg unit, by 2014. Total freight of the river PC marketplace are expected to range 503.8 meg unit by 2014.
“The upcoming merchandises announcements, introductions and demonstrations in the approachings weeks will build on the tremendous momentum that the market has already seen and will lead to segmentation in the abacus (tablet) PC market,” said Richard Shim, mobile computing analyst for DisplaySearch. “This segmentation translates to significant consignment growth and proliferation in the short and long referent.”
Segmentation is also demonstrated by the numerous tested sizes expected to be supported by the many devices that will become available in 2011. DisplaySearch expects the categories of 7” wide, 10” received, and 10” wide to be the notes tested sizes ill-used by new products in the approaching yr.
When Apple introduced its iPad in 2010, it once again shocked many industry observers by providing a criterion (4:3) aspect ratio instrumentations, eves as notebooks, monitors, and TVs were moving to wide (16:9 or 16:10) formats. The barnburner of the iPad has sparked debates about the best shows format for slate; combined with surface size, the result of this debate will help to define the category. An overpluss of new devices purporting to be more user-troops by the nature of their “broad” footprint (or “long” when used in the palm of one’s manus) continue to flood the supply concatenation.
The significant growth of slate is expected to cannibalize the mini-billet and notebook mobile PC categories, but this will vary by parts. Cannibalization of mini-billets and notebooks by slates is potential to be most noticeable in mature markets where PC penetration paces, meaning percentage of households that already own PCs, are highest. In emerging markets, cannibalization is expected to be negligible because PC penetration rates are relatively low-toned as compared to grow markets. Plus, individuals tend to desire more highly configured and solons capable 1st computing devices.
The work-clothing result will be an addition in the river PC category. Mobile PC shipment growth is potential to be in the duplicated figure running throughout the prognosis play, peaking in 2011, at 30.4% Y/Y, and gradually declining to 17.7% growth in 2014.
