As outlined by Cyber Media Research’s (CMR) India Quarterly Android Tablet PC Market Assessment, 3Q (July-September) 2013, December 2013, about 1,204,410 Tablets have been marketed within the quarter by as many as forty three domestic and international sellers. Nonetheless, only thirteen distributors delivered in substantial volumes of additional than twenty,000 units throughout the period of time. The overall development in shipments of Tablets from the India marketplace registered a 9.0% year-on-year (3Q CY 2013 over 3Q CY 2012) expansion, but a much more modest 4.7% quarter-on-quarter (3Q CY 2013 over 2Q CY 2013) increase due to limited offerings from vendors battling BIS certification guidelines.
Dwelling on individual vendor performances, Tarun Pathak, Analyst, CMR Telecoms Practice said, "While Samsung leads, Lenovo has figured for the first time amongst the Top 3 India Tablet PC suppliers, while Datawind continues to maintain its position in this exclusive club.
"Having said that, we saw quite a few distributors exiting the Tablet category altogether, or launching their offerings during the Enterprise Tablets space. Key reasons for this are low profitability during the entry-level Tablets sector vis-à-vis a much more promising future for advancement of the Enterprise Tablets industry," he said.
"The market place is expected to pick up towards the end of the year, once Tablet PC vendors are through with their BIS certifications. This is also expected to lead to some sector consolidation. Only serious players with a long term vision are likely to remain committed to this category of devices. As far as technological trends are concerned, the 3G Tablets sector will continue to grow and Android will remain the dominant OS, though it is expected to lose some share to the Windows and iOS platforms, once Windows 8.1 OS-based Tablet devices, the Apple iPad Air and Apple iPad Mini 2 launch in India all through the October-December 2013 quarter," Pathak concluded.
