TechNavio recognizes the following companies as the key players in the Global Tablet OS Market: Apple Inc., Google Inc., and Microsoft Corp.
Commenting on the report, an analyst from TechNavio’s team said: “One of the main trends witnessed in the Global Tablet OS market is the increased R&D spending by various vendors. The global tablet OS vendors such as Apple and Google have already invested a considerable amount of time and money in the R&D departments for developing upgraded versions of their operating systems. This is being done to provide better functionality and a unique experience to the end-consumers. The R&D investments by these vendors have enabled them to capture a significant market share and gain a competitive edge over the other vendors in the Global Tablet OS market.”
According to the report, one of the main factors driving the market is the increasing need for user-friendly platforms for tablets. With the changing consumer behaviour and the increasing need for mobile applications, the tablet OS vendors are focussing on developing a platform that can be easily support browsing and can be easily accessed by the end-users.
Further, the report states that one of the main challenges is the preference for OS that supports free applications. Some of the existing operating systems do not support free applications and therefore could result in a shifting of consumer preference for other OS that suit their requirements.

The report contains a comprehensive market and vendor landscape in addition to a SWOT analysis of the key vendors.
