Tablet Market Trends:
At present, there is a rise in the employment of tablets as a global positioning system (GPS) navigation device due to their quick navigation via touch screen or stylus as compared to a mouse or keyboard. This, along with rapid digitalization and inflating income levels of individuals, is positively influencing the sales of tablets. Besides this, various benefits offered by tablets, such as miniaturization, longer battery life, and gesture recognition, are strengthening the growth of the market. In addition, the growing demand for retina displays that offer a high resolution and pixel density to enhance the image and color quality is positively influencing the market. Moreover, there is an increase in the demand for tablets among the masses to enjoy enhanced graphics for gaming and video streaming, use apps or software for bill payments, and sync other electronic devices for monitoring. This, coupled with the burgeoning electronics industry, is propelling the growth of the market. Apart from this, the wide availability of tablets through online and offline distribution channels is offering a positive market outlook. Additionally, key players are investing in research and development (R&D) activities to introduce innovative operating systems (OS) and application support for offering improved features, such as multi-user mode, lock screen shortcuts, app permissions, and doze mode.
