IDC: the world market turnover of tablet PCs continued to fall
The worldwide tablet market declined for a tenth straight quarter on a year-over-year basis last quarter, according to IDC. The market research firm estimates tablet shipments totaled only 36.2 million in the first quarter, the fewest since the third quarter of 2012, resulted in a nearly five year low – according to the report of the International Data Corporation (IDC).
While the iPad remains the world’s most popular tablet, it hasn’t escaped the decline. Earlier this week, Apple reported that it sold 8.9 million iPads in the quarter, down from 10.2 million iPads in the year-ago quarter, marking the 13th consecutive quarter that it has sold fewer iPads on a year-over-year unit basis.
