According to the latest report from market research firm Canalys, Samsung currently occupies the second place in the US tablet market. Samsung sold 1.8 million Galaxy Tabs in the first quarter of this year, which reportedly accounted for 18.5% of the market.
Compared with the same period last year, the company has made progress. In the previous year, the company sold 1.75 million tablets and had a market share of 16.3%.
In the previous quarter, Samsung released several tablets in the market such as the Galaxy Tab A9 / A9+, Galaxy Tab S9 FE, and Galaxy Tab S9 FE+. The company also offers Galaxy Tab S9, Galaxy Tab S9 +, and Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra with OLED screens and flagship performance for users who pursue top-level experience.
As you can see from the shipment data, Apple is still number one in the United States, with 4.92 million iPads sold in the first quarter. Surprisingly, the company holds a market share of over 50% in the US. The company has also achieved a slight growth in its iPad market share in Q1 2024 as compared to Q1 2023. However, only Samsung has managed to maintain a positive annual growth.
Compared with the first quarter of last year, Apple‘s iPad sales fell by 8.8%, when they sold 5.4 million units. With the launch of the new iPad Pro series, Apple’s market share is expected to recover. Speaking of Samsung, they are unlikely to launch a new high-end tablet this year. The company usually adds new products in the series every one and a half years. The company released the Galaxy Tab S9 back in July last year. So we could expect to see the Galaxy Tab S10 series in early 2025.
