Android equipment sales rise next year, tablet shipments will be ultra traditional PC

According to a new Gartner study, Android sales will grow steadily in 2015, while shipments from the traditional PC industry are expected to slow and the tablet will be shipped more than the traditional PC. In the latest report, it is expected that 2.4 billion shipments of traditional PCs, tablets and smartphones will be delivered in 2014. In 2.4 billion, smartphones and tablets accounted for 88% of the market, and Android devices accounted for the vast majority. That figure grew by 4.2% compared with 2014. As can be seen from the existing data, Android devices are firmly in the majority of market share, shipments are almost the second-ranked iOS and third Windows system equipment combined. Android is expected to sell 1.168 billion units this year, well ahead of the second 898.9 million. Gartner expects shipments of Android equipment to reach 1.371 billion by 2015. By contrast, iOS devices have grown much more slowly, with shipments expected to reach 271.5 million by 2015. Another interesting phenomenon is that the tablet computer is expected to eventually replace the sale of traditional PCs next year. In the past few years, tablet computers have been developing very strong momentum. Data from Gartner suggest that sales of tablet computers are expected to eventually replace PCs in 2015. PC sales are expected to fall to 261.6 million in 2015, while tablets are still on the rise.
