The worldwide PC market suffered its fourth consecutive quarter of negative growth in the three-month period ending in October, with tablets being the worst-performing category in the third quarter of 2015, according to data released Friday by market research firm Canalys.
According to a report by Canalys, global shipments of tablets fell 20 percent in the third quarter of this year as smartphones with bigger screens are cannibalizing sales. The tablet market is also struggling with sluggish sales because consumers update their tablets less frequently compared to their smartphones.
