According to International Data Corporation (IDC), a total of 39.6 million tablets were shipped worldwide in Q3 2024, representing a 20.4% increase year-on-year.
Apple has retained the top spot in the segment with a significant lead over the competition, but with only a modest growth of 1.4% year-on-year. Still, 12.6 million units is nothing to scoff at. Second place in terms of number of units sold goes to Samsung with 7.1 million or 18.3% year-on-year growth. Analysts believe this is entirely due to the commercial success of the Galaxy Tab A9 series.
