It’s no surprise that the iPad is the biggest seller on the tablet computer market, but the third quarter figures reveal just how far Apple is ahead of the competition. According to a report from research firm Strategy Analytics, Apple’s share of the tablet market has risen to 95%, dwarfing Android’s 2.3% share. While global sales of tablets rose 26% in the third quarter to 4.4 million units, Android’s market share dropped from 2.6%. Neil Mawston of Strategy Analytics explained, “The tablet wars are up and running. Apple has quickly leveraged its famous brand, an extensive retail presence and user-friendly design to develop the tablet segment into a multi-billion-dollar global business.” With several firms releasing tablets over the next few months, Apple’s impressive share is sure to go down, but it remains doubtful that any other tablet can outsell the iPad in the near future.
