With the world’s anticipation, the new iPad family members are officially introduced to the market. In addition to the 5th generation of iPad Air (referred as iPad Air), lighter and smaller as previously expected, the 2nd generation of iPad mini using the Retina display comes under the spotlight of the tablet market stage. The spec upgrade to the new iPad members is clear and evident, however, in view of the price and product positioning, some problems remain to damp the following sales, says WitsView, the display research division of the global intelligence provider TrendForce. WitsView revises down the iPad sales target for this year to 70.5 million units, from previous 72.1 million units, with a market share of 37% for the entire year.
According to the NB shipment survey by WitsView, the display research division of the global intelligence provider TrendForce, the global NB shipment in Q3 2013 attained 43.4 million units, rising 10.1% QoQ, the only quarter that showed two-digit growth in this year. In view of the top nine brands’ shipment, it grew 6.3% QoQ.
According to the latest market survey conducted by AVANTI, a research division of TrendForce, both Samsung and Apple remain the most used smartphone brands among Chinese consumers. Xiaomi has notably managed to rise past HTC this time around, and is currently at fifth place. TrendForce believes Xiaomi’s smartphone sales will greatly affect China's domestic smartphone industry, and will exert the most impact on smartphone manufacturers such as Lenovo and ZTE, which produce similarly priced products.
According to the most recent survey conducted by AVANTI, a research division of TrendForce, the iPhone now leads Samsung in the "brand recognition" category by only 1%.
According to the recent data compiled by TrendForce, the smartphone shipment for the entire Q2 arrived at 221 million units, which is up 6.6% from Q1 and a 31.4% increase from the same period a year ago. For the entire 2013, the worldwide smartphone shipment is expected to rise by approximately 32% and end at 928 million units.
