In the 4G segment in India, the tablet market witnessed a growth of 45% even as the overall tablet segment witnessed a decline of 40% on yearly-basis in the third quarter, according to a report by CMR.
Lenovo emerged as the leader in the 4G tablet segment with 39% market share followed by Samsung and iBall with 30% and 17% market shares, respectively.
About 1 million Tablet PCs were sold recording a rise of about 2% when compared sequentially. In the overall tablet segment, Datawind grabbed the top spot with 33% market share followed by Samsung at 16%. With the festive launches, iBall beat Pantel (BSNL) to gain third position with 13% market share during the period.
The report highlighted that in the past 3-4 years, about 40 players have exited the market. The Wi-Fi enabled devices slipped to around 20%. Also, demand for sub 10k 4G tablets jumped around 200%.
“The tablets market is static with the rules of the game almost unchanged. In terms of shipments, the trend has been the same for domestic and global brands; they are maintaining a status quo for quite long time. But with the changing times, the stereotype should be broken and the Indian brands should also look for making B-to-C purchases, along with scouting for opportunities available in the government sector. Simultaneously, the global brands should resort to inking government deals, with continued focus on enterprises and at consumer level,” said Krishna Mukherjee, Analyst at CMR.
The report predicted that the tablet industry may see the survival of the fittest in the next couple of years, with only 6-7 serious players remaining in the sector. The study suggested that handset manufacturers Intex and Lava may withdraw from the market.
