HP and Samsung are the big winners in terms of growth in the Chromebook market leading into 2021. And the market, as a whole, is slowly eating into the tablet market. That\u2019s based on recent reports citing International Data Corporation (IDC) data for Q1 2021.
\nOn the growth front, HP was out in front for the quarter. With 4.4-million shipments for the quarter and 33.5-percent of the market, the long-time PC-maker grew by no less than 633.9-percent. That\u2019s compared to Samsung\u2019s growth over the same period \u2014 that\u2019s year-over-year \u2014 of 496-percent.
\nThe trend appears to follow the ongoing global pandemic and widespread work-from-home policies. For the final three quarters of 2020, both tablets and Chromebooks saw steady growth as those policies continued to hold. With the former category peaking in Q4 before dropping again in Q1 2021. Conversely, while tablet growth has stopped and declined Chromebook sales appear to be stable.
\nSamsung was still not the top Chromebook segment maker, despite rampant growth
\nNow, that\u2019s not to say that Samsung led in overall sales year-over-year for Q1 2021. In fact, its growth spurt only placed it with an 8-percent market share. That\u2019s up from 6.1-percent and compared to the number two placement holder, Lenovo, at 25.6-percent. Acer came in at number three with 14.5-percent, while Dell was in the fourth slot with 11.3-percent.
\nThat puts Samsung \u2014 at the end of the first quarter, despite its growth and relative to HP in the Chrome OS device market \u2014 way down in the fifth position. With \u201cOthers\u201d accounting for the final 7.2-percent.
\nTablets still aren\u2019t going anywhere
\nRegardless of Samsung\u2019s position, the company\u2019s feat is still impressive. After all, its current lineup of Chromebooks is relatively small, only including the Galaxy Chromebook 2 and Chromebook 4 series. It shouldn\u2019t be altogether surprising then that the tablet market, despite the ingress from Chromebooks, is still dominant.
\nIn fact, it\u2019s still approximately three times as large as the Chromebook market. And Samsung ultimately saw 60-percent year-over-year growth in that market too.<\/p>\n
