“Lenovo continues to be on the first position in overall tablet market, and most of the tablets were 4G and 3G. Tab 4 series had the highest sale in Q3 2018. Major presence of Lenovo is in education sector and financial services,” CMR said in a statement.

Samsung’s position dropped quarter-on-quarter (QoQ) in the overall market because it has adopted the same strategy in the last few quarters, added CMR.

In the coming quarter, 4G market will grow to 60 per cent of the overall tablet market while six or seven key players will dominate the overall tablet market and the retail market may see some shrinking of its overall market share because the B2B market will continue to grow, opined the market research firm.
