Analysts predict iPad sales next year could reach 28 million units. It was strengthened with the holiday season, which would boost the popularity of Apple’s tablet.

The data is obtained from Benzinga. In the first three months since its launch last April, iPad directly  skyrocketed with sales reaching 3,27 million units.

Analysts from Maynard Um of UBS Investment Research says that consumers are now able to increase sales to 28 million iPad units in 2011. IPad sales would indirectly affect the sales of laptops. Especially for ‘lower classes’ products.

“We believe a major impact occurs at the level of sales of low-end PCs, as iPad prices very close to those markets (low-end PCs),” the analysts said in a statement.

Sales of the Apple iPad believed it would exceed the sales combination of other manufacturers. The competitors will realize that it is not easy to compete with iPad.

Different opinions have been expressed previously by JT Wang, chairman of Acer Group. JT Wang believes Google’s Android-based tablet will quickly wipe out iPad tablet with a market share in the global sphere between 20 percent to 30 percent.

While data from UBS Investment Research reveals that Apple’s market share will grow by 25, 77 percent this year.
