Smartphone and tablet visit shares are up in each of six industries analyzed by Adobe, according to its 3rd annual “Best of the Best (U.S.) Digital Marketing report, although tablet visits began declining in the fourth quarter and are expected to continue in most industries save for media and entertainment, likely due to the growth of phablets.
Of the six industries, the media and entertainment sector had the largest share of both tablet (26.1%) and smartphone (35.5%) visits for the calendar year. The top quintile in this industry by smartphone visits saw just over half of their traffic come from smartphones.
