iPad and Mac continue to dominate the market in 2022

Mac and iPad have been very profitable for Apple this first quarter of the year, so much so that they dominate their categories.

The period from January to March turned out to be quite fruitful for Apple. During the first months of 2022, Apple broke sales records for all its products, in addition to the fact that the iPhone 13 turned out to be the company’s best-selling mobile. This success seems to be replicated in other markets, such as the iPad and Mac.

It is now an external report that mentions that the iPad and Mac market are the ones that dominate the world

in their respective categories. This report confirms the results that Apple had previously announced.

Mac and iPad dominate their respective markets

In a new report from the Canalys website, Mac and iPad are shown to be big dominators in their respective markets. Even though Total tablet and PC sales fell 3% compared to last year, Apple remains very solid financially.

iPad and Mac manage to hold their own in a very uncertain market

Despite the drop in shipments in the first quarter, the resurgence of tablets remains strong. The market has now recorded eight consecutive quarters of higher shipment figures than in the fourth quarter of 2019, before the pandemic. Going forward, the market will face increased supply pressure due to the Russian-Ukrainian conflict and COVID-related lockdowns in China. Persistent demand for tablets from Q4 2021 was expected to extend into Q1 2022, but the supply situation is now likely to push delays into Q2.

In the case of the iPad, Apple is down 2% from last year, from 15.2 million iPads sold to 14.9. Still, the bitten-apple company outperforms its closest rivals, as second-placed Samsung shipped 7.8 million tablets and is down 2% in the regular market.

The PC market was great for Applebecause this quarter ousted Lenovo from the top spot by selling 22.3 million Macs, growing by 1% and obtaining 18.8% of the total PC market in the world. Lenovo and HP, the closest competitors, saw a dramatic drop of 15% in total sales.

Tech markets have suffered a drop in sales, which were mostly expected since with the end of confinement, work and school at home are no longer an obligation. But Apple was able to capture the market monopolized by Windows, as 50% of new Mac buyers had never owned a Mac before.

Macs and iPads have been known to revalue themselves, and now Apple dominates a few important markets for the tech world, just like tablets and PCs. We’ll see how the sales will go in the second quarter of the year, when Apple has already launched some interesting devices.
