DUBLIN --(Business Wire)--

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/ddlzts/global_phablet) has announced the addition of the "Global Phablet Market 2014-2018" report to their offering.

The Global Phablet market to grow at a CAGR of 26.67% over the period 2013-2018.

A phablet is a portmanteau word that is a combination of phone and tablet; this is a mobile device designed to straddle the functions of a smartphone and tablet. A phablet typically has a screen that measures (diagonally) between 5.01 and 6.9 inches (between 130 and 180 mm). This complements the screen-intensive activities such as mobile web browsing and multimedia viewing. Phablet also includes software optimized for an integral self-storing stylus to facilitate sketching, note-taking, and annotation.

To calculate the market size, the report considers the revenue generated throuh the sales of phablets as well as the unit shipment of phablets. The report also includes the segmentation of the Global Phablet market based on screen size and operating system.



One of the major trends in the Global Phablet market is the origin of powerful processors, which work faster than the previous edition of processors. These processors are capable of handling high data and processes with high speed.

According to the report, one of the major drivers is the dual functionality of the phablet, which increases its adoption. As consumers in emerging countries may not be able afford both smartphones and tablets, they prefer phablets, which are cost-effective and more efficient than other devices.


Further, the report states that the high-production cost of phablets is one of the major challenges. This results in fluctuation in revenues of phablet manufacturers, which has adversely affected profitability.
