While “confusion in the market” likely refers to Microsoft’s decision to offer two flavours of tablet OS (Windows RT/Windows 8).Īccording to Strategy Analytics’ figures, Apple retains its lead in the tablet OS space, with a 48.2% share in Q1 vs a “robust” 43.4% for Android on 19.5 million and 17.6 million unit shipments respectively. Microsoft has followed its Windows Phone strategy of paying developers to create apps for Windows 8 but it’s still got work to do in the quality vs quantity stakes. Strategy Analytics dubs it a “niche” portion, noting that “very limited distribution, a shortage of top tier apps, and confusion in the market, are all holding back shipments”. Returning to tablets, compared to the dominant players in the tablet OS market - iOS and Android - Microsoft’s share is still very modest. Earlier this year ABI Research predicted Windows Phone will end 2013 with around 3% of the worldwide market. Compare that to the Windows Phone OS, which launched more than two years ago, in fall 2010: Windows Phone took only a 4.1% share in the US smartphone OS market in the three months ending February, according to Kantar figures. Microsoft launched Windows 8, its touchscreen-friendly reboot of its desktop OS, last fall - so it’s swung from zero to a 7.4% share in just under half a year. The analyst notes record tablet shipments in the quarter, with global branded tablet shipments reaching an “all-time high” of 40.6 million units in Q1, driven on by year-on-year growth of 117% (vs 146% in Q1 2012). Microsoft has gone from having no share of the global tablet OS market in Q1 last year to taking 7.4% one year later, with three million Windows 8 tablets shipped in Q1 2013, according to preliminary figures from Strategy Analytics‘ Global Tablet OS Market Share: Q1 2013 report. It may still be struggling to make itself count in the smartphone space but early signs are more promising for Windows plus tablets. But at least in the education space, the future of Chrome OS looks fairly bright.Don’t write off Microsoft’s chances in mobile just yet.

IDC also noted that gaming PCs were a big driver of growth, and it was a particularly strong year for the Mac.Īs some of the world may find a new kind of post- or late-pandemic normalcy later this year or next year, new sales figures will give a clearer indication of where things will go in the future, not just how they went in 2020. But the entire market grew overall, not just Chrome OS.

Even then, IDC indicated that the increase in sales was driven in large part by the expansion of Chromebooks both within and outside of the education market.Īs students in many communities have had to attend class virtually from home and their parents have had to do work remotely, too, PC sales jumped during the year. Last month, IDC's report on PC sales showed the first year of consistent growth of traditional PC (desktop, laptop, workstation) sales in years. The trend looks to be in Google's favor here, but 2020 was far from a normal year.
Windows fell from 85.4 percent to 80.5 percent. Meanwhile, Chrome OS skyrocketed from 6.4 percent in 2019 to 10.8 percent in 2020.
