Enterprise Tablet Adoption to Grow 48% a Year

Over the next five years, total shipments of tablet computers to enterprises around the world are expected to increase at a compound annual growth rate of 48 percent, with shipments rising from 13.6 million units in 2011 to 96.3 million units in 2016, according to Infinite Research.


In 2011, the Financial Services sector was the leading enterprise market adopter, purchasing 3.37 million tablets. That would not surprise anybody familiar with advanced technology adoption by businesses. The financial sector tends to lead, always.


Enterprise and business tablet adoption is occurring in numerous market verticals such as the Education, Healthcare, Retail, Industrial, Government, Financial Services, Hospitality, Technology, Legal, and Energy sectors, though.
