The growing trend wearable computing market with devices like Google Glass and smartwatches, along with the increased preference for phablets, is going to affect the global shipment of tablets and take them down marginally in the near future.
IDC, the market research company, has predicted that total tablet shipment worldwide would now be 227.4 million, down by 0.8% from the firm's earlier projection.
The company said that the year-on-year growth is beginning to slow as the tablet market approaches early stages of maturity.
Analysts worldwide are blaming Apple's lack of innovative and newer tablet devices affecting the worldwide shipment of tablets manufactured by rival companies leading to a global slowdown. Google's smart eyewear, Google Glass which allows users to search the web, take pictures and make calls much like tablets do in a relatively easier manner along with smartwatches are expected to fuel the cut down in tablet shipments.
