Hybrid tablet PCs are increasingly being used in business, medicine, commercial, and defense areas. Moreover, although the sale of tablet PCs is projected to decline over the next years, traditional tablet PCs are projected to witness growth in sales in near future. Introduction of phablets in the consumer electronics market is projected to hamper growth of the tablet market. Moreover, other factors such as high cost, data security, and technical challenges such as absence of USB ports and traditional keyboards may hinder market growth over the forecast period.

Furthermore, tablets are used only for entertainment, gaming, and online video streaming activities. The sale of tablets is expected to experience a decline in U.S. due to the presence of large smartphone manufacturers and increasing smartphones users.
Prominent tablet vendors are Apple Inc., Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd, ASUSTek Computer Inc., and Amazon.com Inc.
