The tablet PC market has emerged as one of the most dynamic segments in consumer electronics in recent times. Consumer demand patterns for computing devices have been constantly evolving with the ability to multi-task, portability, network connectivity, long battery life, along with decent software and hardware being the most sought after requirements in computing devices. With the rise in the mobile population and increased proliferation of Wi-Fi and mobile broadband networks such as 3G and 4G, tablet PCs have emerged as a viable option to fulfil the communication, entertainment and connectivity requirements of consumers on-the-go. The need for devices like tablet PCs has also gained impetus with BYOD gaining traction amongst enterprises across the globe.

Knowledgefaber research indicates that tablet PC sales worldwide will reach 388 million units in 2016, surpassing the combined sales of desktops, laptops and ultrabooks in terms of volume, while revenues from tablet PC sales are expected to multiply five times between 2012 - 2016. Currently in the nascent stages of adoption, the tablet PC market in India is expected to show robust growth in the next five years with revenues from tablet PC sales reaching $6.5B by 2016 as consumers increasingly realize the value-proposition being offered by tablet PCs.
