This marks the highest annual shipment volume since 2020, when the Covid-19 pandemic triggered a surge in tablet demand.<\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\"><b>Apple<\/b> not only <b>retained its position as the world\u2019s top tablet brand<\/b> but also extended its lead, shipping more than 19.6 million iPads. Shipments grew 16.5% YoY, fuelled by strong demand for the M5 iPad Pro lineup and iPad (11th gen).<\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\"><b>Samsung ranked second<\/b>, but recorded a 9.2% YoY decline in shipments to 6.4 million units. <b>Lenovo placed third<\/b>, shipping 3.9 million units and enjoyed a significant 36% YoY increase in shipments.<\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">Looking ahead, Omdia warns that <b>tablet demand could soften<\/b> in the coming months amid a global memory shortage.
