Overall the tablets shipment has increased from 116,348,317 in 2012 to 195,435,004 in 2013. But vendor-wise Apple still remains at the top position with 70,400,159 sales per unit. South Korean Samsung comes second and Asus follows on third.

Also the report says that the sales of tablets was boosted by the low-end tablets and hence Android continues to dominate the tablet market. There are several Android tablet makers which have been offering their product at a very marginal price. Also Samsung's mid-range tablet can be credited in most of the countries like India and other Asian markets.
