This market tracker monitors the mobile application processors going into the global tablet industry. While Apple’s iPad product line make up nearly 40% of the market due to their captive ecosystem of iPad OS devices, both Android and Windows-based tablets make up the rest of the global market demand for tablet apps processors. Recent entry of Qualcomm of their new Oryon-CPU processor (Snapdragon Elite X) has added more competition into the Windows-based tablet primarily at the expense of Intel. Due to the much-improved battery life of ARM-based Windows processors, Qualcomm’s entry created new excitement within the Windows-based tablet category. This calendar Q4 2024 market share has data going back to 2010 when the first iPad created this category. A 3-quarter forward looking forecast is also provided to guide users to the industry dynamics.
