Growth in Apple's personal computer business continued to outpace the industry average last month, with Macs accounting for a 14 percent unit share and 25 percent dollar share of all US-based PC retail sales, according to market research firm NPD.

The above information merely references the number of users but it does not speak to a specific sector of users, such as, the percentage of total personal computer owners that use their equipment for graphics, animation, video editing, etc.  With this consideration in mind, the actual numbers could, from a statistical viewpoint, be entirely different ... much higher or lower.
