Apple leads China tablet market in Apr-Jun quarter with market share of 31%

Apple maintained its leading status despite sharp decline in its tablet shipments in China with a market share of 31 percent, down from 45 percent a year ago, after its iPad shipments fell 48 percent on-year to 1.72 million units in the second quarter, a report showed on Friday.

Samsung and Lenovo capitalised on renewed demand for tablets in the consumer space.

Samsung and Lenovo both enjoyed strong annual growth, of 78 per cent and 299 per cent, respectively, to take third and fourth place in Q2 2021, according to market research firm Canalys.

Disrupted by multiple sanctions and the Honor spin-off, Huawei’s shipments fell by more than 60 per cent to just over 1 million at the second place.
