Going into 2012, The Apple iPad and The Apple iPad 2 nd themselves in an
ever-increasing pool o competitors. The market Apple created in 2010 has since
grown to become one o the key components in the technology industry, withhundreds o tablet devices now available.
As a result, a notable shit has taken place in the analysis o the device’s successas a product. Where it was once examined as a standalone product, it is now more
regularly judged against its competitors.
While this mode o analysis has changed, statistics and trends relating to Apple’siPad and iPad 2 still remain almost unanimously positive - Apple are on course to
sell 46.7 million tablet devices this year, 4 times larger than their Android Rivals.
In this third trends and statistics document, we will look at Apple’s current and
projected position in the market and display that although Apple is set to aceincreasingly sti competition; all signs suggest that the device will continue itstablet dominance or the oreseeable uture.

1In our last report , we suggested thatthe iPad’s most signicant impact
would be the creation o an industry
almost overnight. At that stage o
2011, competitors were scrambling to
develop and release their own devices
that they hoped would rival the iPad’s
supremacy. This developer battle has
perhaps become the dening issueo the technology industry during
the latter months o 2011. For Apple,
the good news is that their market
domination has persisted throughout.
The iPad is currently untouchableas the leading tablet device
According to the IDC, Apple’s tablet market share actually rose to 68.3% o the worldwidemarket, up rom 65.7% in the rst quarter. During the same period, the number o devicessold by those operating an Android system ell to 26.8% rom 34.0%. Considering the
number o devices using an Android operating system, Apple remains way out in rontas the world’s most popular tablet device.

The customer base established by the iPad appears unlikely to erode as well. Accordingto a U.S tablet survey by Robert W. Baird, 98% of current iPad owners that areconsidering a second purchase are looking at another iPad.
There are several actors or both the market share and customer loyalty o the iPA,however put simply, the iPad and iPad 2 oer users the best hardware, the best sotwarethe most Apps, and now with iOS 5, the iCloud. New devices which do not have these4 components integrated in one ecosystem will continue to suer when compared toApple’s devices.

Although making a signicant impact on the technology industry, the tablet marketin 2011 is still in its relative inancy. The ‘newness’ o these devices has prompted somedetractors to label the tablet boom a passing ad, however orecasts rom industryanalysts predict year-on-year growth o the tablet device, with the iPad and itsollow-up devices maintaining their position as industry leaders.

Signicantly, analysts have been quick to emphasise that the iPad will retain itsposition as the leading device throughout this period. Gartner orecast that o the 326million tablets sold in 2015, Apple will sell 148m iPads. While this is a smaller share o
the overall tablet market, it would remain ar and away the most popular tablet device,and remarkably, the most popular operating system, with Android sales projectedat 116.4 million.

It is important that publishers recognise the huge potential or the growth o thismarket, and the credible predictions being made about its growth. PriceWater-
houseCoopers have recently estimated that by 2015 the North American digitalmagazine market will be worth. This indicates massive growth o what was
considered a $4million dollar market in 2010.
Perhaps best emphasising the huge potential or Magazine apps currently is theNew Yorker Magazine. According to statistics 20,000 people have purchased annual
subscriptions at a yearly rate o $59.99 in 2011, and “several thousand” have purchasedindividual issues at $4.99 each. According to Conde Nast estimates, the New Yorkeralready has an audience o 100,000 readers on the iPad.
Representing a signicant milestone or magazine publishers, Apple launched
its Newsstand service or the iPad on October 12th. The new service afords
newspapers and magazines a higher prole, dedicated space within iTunes
and is set to act as the primary sales channel or digital magazine editions.
Since its recent release, the channel has been responsible in some cases or
a huge 268% Digital magazine sales increase.

As this recent Changewave survey displays, Apple’s position as the dominantcorporate tablet has not deviated over the past quarter. Signicantly, this 80 per centshare is o an increasingly bigger pie. According to data by rom technology researchgroup Gartner, by 2013, 80% o businesses will support a workorce using tablets.
The proessional landscape most altered by the iPad is undoubtedly the mobile
technology industry. While this may seem obvious, it is an interesting sector to look at as it is the orerunner or tablet usage trends that may emerge more universally inthe uture. For example, according to a Social Cast survey, 27.4% of mobile workers
believed the tablet could replace the laptop as the mobile device o choice in theuture. While this may not be set to happen immediately, it is an interestingprojection rom those who work with these devices the most.

Purchases made on the iPad continue to act as a good indicator o the devices popularity,and how well they have been adopted by their user base. In the last quarter statistics have
emerged to suggest that both internet browser and app purchasing has massivelyincreased, and has the potential to grow much urther.

5 The iPad is a purchasing machine
Signicantly or retailers, research has shown that owners o the iPad spend more moneyvia the device than through any other platorm. The Wall Street Journal has reportedthat, on average, PC and Laptop users buy a product 3% o the time, whereas a consumerbrowsing on the iPad or iPad 2 has a conversion rate o between 4-5%.

An App ormat that is thriving on the iPad and the iPad 2 is the Catalogue shopping App.As we’ve already highlighted, e-commerce is proving to be hugely popular on the device.
Although internet browsing might be the traditional way to shop online, many retailersare nding that a catalogue app is a perect t or the device.
A survey rom eConsultancy has ound that 54.4% o UK shoppers have used a catalogue
beore making an online or in-store purchase this year. With an interactive catalogueApp, which is tailored to mobile shopping, the route to online purchase can be reduced
signicantly.
This has been proven by online shopping research TheFind, who have ound that theconversion rate on its catalogue app is about 10% higher than on its website, andaverage order size is between 10% and 20% higher.

7 ConclusionAlthough the tablet landscape has changed dramatically throughout 2011, the iPad and theiPad 2 remain the benchmark by which all other tablet devices are judged, and i the quarterhas proven anything, no device is yet to meet the loty standards set by Apple’s devices.
“Both the current and projected sales gures have proven that the iPad is still king in thetablet market, and will remain the key player in an industry that is set or unprecedentedoverall year-on-year growth up until at least 2015.
But the newest threat to the iPod’s tablet dominance is perhaps the largest. Amazon’sKindle Fire looks set to oer a unied service that rivals the iPad’s own. Amazon’s
established presence as a content-delivery channel, already in possession o millions o
consumer’s details, encouraged the pre-ordering o around 95,000 devices on the rstday o pre-release.
While this may be slightly troubling news or Apple, the larger pool o tablet devices canonly be considered as a positive or digital magazine publishers.
As we reported in a recent blog post, the Kindle Fire will be geared towards mediaconsumption, and in particular, interactive colour reading experiences. It is truly excitingand encouraging or Amazon to put their name to hardware that allows or this kind o
reading.
Perhaps what it emphasises more than anything however is the enduring potential
o the industry, and how important digital reading experiences will be in this overallgrowth. I Amazon’s aith is well placed, 2012 looks set to be a huge year or tabletmagazine publishers and the devices they are viewed upon.
Apple delivers a superior and unied user experience acrossits hardware, sotware and services. Unless competitors can
respond with a similar approach, challenges to Apple’sposition will be minimal
