Apple Dominates Smart Tag Market With AirTags

Parks Associates reported Monday that 69% of smart tag buyers in late 2024 bought an Apple AirTag. That compares with 45% of buyers in early 2022.

"Predictably, iPhone users prefer to use Apple's AirTags," Parks said in a news release. "Android users prefer to use Samsung Galaxy tags."

"These small, inexpensive devices help consumers find lost or frequently misplaced items such as keys, wallets, luggage, and remote controls, as well as loved ones, like children and vulnerable older adults," Jennifer Kent, vice president of research at Parks Associates, said in statement. "They deliver valuable peace of mind and convenience."
