Tablet demand slows as competition from notebooks and smartphones increases, says DisplaySearch

Global tablet demand is slowing and shipments are forecast to grow only 2% on year in 2014. According to DisplaySearch, 254 million tablet units will ship in 2014, which is less than the 14% growth DisplaySearch previously forecast. Driven mainly by replacement cycles, tablet demand will continue to grow by single digits through 2018, and the average tablet screen size is expected to increase from 8-inch in 2014 to 9-inch in 2018.
