Tablet Apps Processor Unit Shipments Declined 8% in 2021, Says SA

Global revenue from tablet apps processor shipments grew 12% in calendar 2021, with Apple holding a commanding 62% share lead, reported Strategy Analytics Tuesday. Intel and Qualcomm were second and third, with 12% and 10% share, respectively, said SA. Unit volume declined 8% on weaker demand for low-end processors but was 13% higher than in 2019, it said. The 21% increase in average selling prices helped the market generate revenue growth, despite the lower unit volume, due to a higher mix of more premium processors, it said.
