Another analyst says tablets are not much chop
 

Beancounters at ABI Research have added up some numbers and joined the throngs who say that the tablet market is in a sad way.

ABI claims that the decline over the past two years has been because branded tablets in advanced market economies fell due to saturation, slow replacement cycles, greater influence of business purchases, and substitution.

Chinese and other Asian markets are seeing decreased demand for white-box tablets due to shifts to branded tablets, as well as reliance on smartphones and phablets.
While the total tablet volume in 2015 was more than 207 million, ABI Research expects this to sink below 140 million global shipments in 2021.
