iPad tablets have just emerged on the market, but they’re now occupying a dramatically increasing share in computer sales.

According to “The Tablet Takeover” chart, 6% of the global computer sales is occupied by tablets, 18% by netbooks, and 44% by laptops. While 6% might not be that great of a figure, a recent survey found out that a good 14% of shoppers online intend to buy a tablet in the next 5 months, which sums up to some 28 million tablet units.

At the time of the iPad’s announcement, netbook sales were sitting on the 70% mark.  3 months later when the iPad launched, it went down to 50%. This doesn’t mean  that because tablets are skyrocketing, iPad will monopolize the supply in the US. Analysts saw 61% this year, and expect that iPads will decline to 43% in 2014.

Tablet price is expected to decrease from time to time and accounting a 19.5% increase in sales by 2011, 54% by 2012, 103.4% in 2012 and 208% in 2014. In 2008, tablets are only a percent in the computer market while desktop, notebook and netbook occupies 45%, 45% and 9% of the market; today, tablets rose to 23% jeopardizing the sales of other computer units, sloping down to 18%, 42%, 17% and 23% respectively.

While tablets are seen as the future of computers, there are pros and cons of this device. The multi-use of a tablet is a main attraction for consumers these days, and they’ve become a natural progression through the adoption of smartphones.  The number of brands interested in specialized tablets also seems to be increasing, with companies like Barnes & Noble launching eReaders with an Android platform.
