Tablet vendors have been developing models designated for education, business and gaming applications in order to boost shipment growth in 2015 due to saturation in global demand for consumer tablets, according to sources at Taiwan-based IC design houses.

Concerns of a slowdown in growth momentum for tablets in 2015 are increasing as replacement demand for tablets has been dwindling and the tablet markets in China and other emerging markets have become more mature, said the sources.

Related chip suppliers have seen more vendors developing models for education, business and gaming purposes. The new models also feature low development costs, large-size HD displays and high graphics capabilities.

Android-based tablet vendors are expected to focus on sub-US$100 models with HD displays and high graphics performance to expand their share in the education segments in emerging markets, the sources said.

Microsoft is expected to continue to exert efforts to keep its leading market position in the business tablet sector, said the sources.
