Apple, Samsung, Microsoft Lead Tablet Industry in Revenues, says Strategy AnalyticsBOSTON, June 9, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- In search of higher margins and conquest sales from the PC market, Tablet vendors 2-in-1 and Pro Slate devices have garnered higher revenue and stabilized average selling prices (ASPs), according to the new "Global Tablet Vendor & OS, Unit & Value Market Share by Region: Q1 2016" report from Strategy Analytics' Tablet & Touchscreen Strategies (TTS) service. Microsoft and Apple combined to sell over a million of their Pro Slates last quarter, and most mobile-first/smartphone vendors now have Pro Slates (with optional keyboard) or 2-in-1 Tablets (with detachable keyboard standard) to sate growing demand for these converged computing devices.

Eric Smith, Senior Analyst, Tablet & Touchscreen Strategies service added, "As a device, the tablet is going through a period of recalibration as productivity becomes more important, enterprises purchase more touchscreen and mobile first devices for a new generation of workers, and consumers begin paring down ownership of multiple computing devices. We expect shipments to continue their slow decline over the next couple of years during which the usefulness, quality, and ASPs (average selling prices) of tablets grow."
