Today, more than 90% of PCs in the world of laptops and desktops running Microsoft Windows. While Microsoft's market share for all tablet devices, smartphones and PCs still at 35.9%. But in 2016, says IDC analysis of the Windows market share dropped to 25.1%.
While the Android platform will rise from the current 29.4% to 31.1% in the year, so the first place. Then, IOS-based devices from Apple grew 14.6% to dri 17.3% in 2016.
Fluctuations in the Android operating system could not be separated from the rapidly growing adoption of smartphones and tablet PCs. Also combined with the low price of Android devices. Although there are a number of vendors Android record profits may decline.
"Growth-related Android devices continues to decrease its price. So, although we estimate that dozens of hardware vendors have a number of sections in the Android market, some will be difficult to get a profit," said Tom Mainelli, research director at IDC.
Tom adds smartphone growth will be driven by consumers in countries in Asia Pacific, particularly China. Similarly, as quoted from DailyMail, Friday (03/30/2012).
