Canalys: Global tablet shipments surged by 11% in Q3 2024 | Infinium-tech
Tablets have been enjoying somewhat of a resurgence since early 2024. According to Canalys numbers, global tablet shipments totaled 37.4 million units in Q3, the third consecutive quarter of growth. Year-over-year shipments are up 11%. This follows an 18% year-over-year increase in the previous quarter.
This boost comes from a few factors that came together – Q3 coincided with back-to-school seasonal demand, with retailers building up stock in anticipation of the holidays and early discounts.
Apple leads with 13.5 million units shipped or 36% market share, trailing 37.4 million units. The refreshed iPad mini with Apple Intelligence has been added to Apple’s iPad lineup.
Samsung shipped approximately 7 million units for an 18% market share. Lenovo, Huawei and Xiaomi round out the top five with similar numbers.
