eMarketer
predicts the number of iPad users in the US will rise by over 90% this
year to 53.2 million, as loyal users replace older models and new
consumers purchase the device. This year, the iPad will continue to be
in the hands of more than three-quarters of all tablet users in the
country.
That level of growth is down significantly from last year’s 143.9%
jump, and will continue to decline; by 2015, the number of iPad users
will rise by just under 12%. By then, more than one-third of all US
internet users will have such a device.
