Top 5 tablet vendors based on volume market share in Q2

Telecom Lead India: Apple, Samsung, Amazon, ASUS and Acer
are the top 5 tablet vendors based on volume market share in the second quarter
of 2012.


Tablet shipments for the second quarter of 2012 (2Q12)
grew to 25 million units from 18.7 million in the first quarter of 2012.


The quarter-over-quarter increase in tablet shipments was
33.6 percent and year-over-year growth was 66.2 percent, IDC said.


Tom Mainelli, research director, Mobile Connected
Devices, IDC, said the vast majority of consumers continue to favor the iPad
over competitors, and Apple is seeing increasingly strong interest in the
device from vertical markets especially education. While iPad shipment totals
are beginning to slow a bit in mature markets where the device saw early
traction, growth in other regions is clearly more than making up the
difference.


Apple shipped 17 million iPads during the quarter, up
from 11.8 million units in 1Q12.


Four of the top five worldwide vendors saw their
shipments increase year over year.


Samsung shipped 2.4 million units, up from 1.1 million
units a year ago.


Amazon posted shipments of 1.2 million units.


ASUS shipped 855,454 units compared with 397,048 units a
year ago.


Acer saw its year-over-year numbers decline, as it
shipped 385,458 units this quarter, down from 629,222 units a year ago.
