Tablets to overtake notebook, PCs by 2016: Survey | Tablet computers are expected to overtake notebooks and PCs by 2016 as consumers shift to newer devices like the Apple iPad, a survey has found. According to the survey
conducted by research firm NPD said that tablets will be 'the growth driver' for
the mobile computer market over the next few years. "Consumer preference for mobile
computing devices is shifting from notebook to tablet PCs, particularly in mature
markets," said Richard Shim, analyst at NPD. Overall mobile PC shipments, including
tablets, will grow from 347 million in 2012 to over 809 million by 2017, Herald
Sun reports. Notebook PC shipments are expected to increase from 208 million in
2012 to 393 million by 2017, but tablet shipments are expected to grow from 121
million to 416 million in the same period. A key driver for tablet growth is adoption
in North America, Japan and Western Europe , which will account for 66 percent
of shipments in 2012 and remain in the 60 percent range throughout the next few
years, NPD said. In its most recent quarterly survey on mobile devices, NPD said
in May that Apple's iPad had 62.8 percent of the tablet market, with Samsung a
distant second at 7.5 percent.
