BOSTON, Aug. 27, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Large screen sizes are gaining favor as the Tablet transforms into a productivity device, with shipments growing 185% year-on-year in 2015. According to a new Strategy Analytics' Tablet & Touchscreen Strategies (TTS) report, Apple's iPad Pro will join a market that is primed for growth, thanks to the success of Microsoft's Surface Pro 3 and larger 2-in-1 Detachable Tablets from traditional PC vendors like Lenovo, Acer, and Asus.

Peter King, Service Director, Tablet & Touchscreen Strategies, said, "A dramatic shift is underway among Tablet screen sizes to accommodate more use cases for the Tablet. The success of Microsoft's Surface Pro 3 -- and now the lower-cost Surface 3 -- has opened the market for traditional PC vendors to sell larger screen-sized Windows Tablets to compete for PC replacement dollars. Additionally, 2-in-1 Tablets have gained market share as costs have come down, placing 10" and 11" Windows Tablets in the mid and low price tiers for mass market consumption."
Eric Smith, Senior Analyst, Tablet & Touchscreen Strategies, added, "Just as Phablets have eaten away at the smaller end of the Tablet spectrum, the gulf between PCs and Tablets is shrinking every day. Major vendors are pushing the boundaries of all three major mobile operating systems and hardware configurations to transform the Tablet into a content creation device. The ultra-portability and versatility of 2-in-1 Tablets and premium Slates like Surface Pro 3 and iPad Pro will enable the Tablet to increasingly serve new market segments, such as field work, healthcare, retail point of sale, education, and even desk work."
