Yearly U.S. Tablet Sales to Triple by 2015

Only TVs, PCs will have bigger global markets, forecast predicts

Four years from now nearly 50 million tablet devices will be sold annually in the United States, according to a new report released by the Boston-based research firm Strategy Analytics—and the iPad will still be a major player.

Strategy Analytics predicts that in 2015, Americans will snatch up 49 million tablets, up from the 15 million sold in 2010 when the market consisted almost entirely of Apple iPads. With demand surging at similar rates worldwide, the firm predicts the overall global market for the relatively new category will total $49 billion four years from now.
