India Expects Twofold Increase in Tablet Market Sales in 2013

Majority of the tablets existing now in the market are those which offer Wi-Fi connectivity along with 3G access being enabled via a USB dongle. The research firm predicts that the 3G-only tablets with large screens will see a decrease in popularity going forward.

This is due to the decline of ASVs (Average Sales Value) of media tablets in which 3G is enabled, increased exploration of 3G networks as well as the launch of 4G/WiMax/LTE (BWA) services in India. The adoption of tablets will only increase in India.

This will be brought by the change in trends introduced by the latest services which will trigger fresh demand and consumption of new types of content and data services by subscribers.

The ASV of Indian tablets during the third quarter of 2012 was roughly Rs. 13,200. Sales around 63.5% were made below the Rs.10,000-mark.
