PC, which some people are limited to conventional desktops, workstations and laptops, once considered a dying breed. A strong smartphone proliferation and demolition of computing resources to clouds is believed to be the cause of the PC market that is unavoidable but slow. And then came 2020 and Covid-19 which almost threw all the reasons out of the window. That is the background that leads to the resurrection of this market, and now see a quarter of the sixth consecutive growth, although there are also potential signs that grow up the corner.
Notebooks, which do not include removable tablets and slate, may also be a savior of the PC market in the past half a year. Pandemics who force everyone home to some time also change the market of personal computing, put a portable PC back to mode when people shift to long distance work and school settings. It caused the delivery of PC to increase, with an increase of 3.9% in the third quarter of 2021 compared to the same period from the previous year.
IDC, however, warns that it is not all bright, and the actual things begin to slow down or even decline. The same conditions that bring a surge in PC market growth will cause problems in the long run. The surge in demand for PCs, for example, has contributed to the components and lack of supply we are experiencing now.
While PC markets experience little growth in general, not all are winners. The top five practical vendors remained in the same place as last year, but Lenovo’s market leader really saw a little panties in his part. Dell is a surprising outlier with a growth of 26.6% year-to-year.
The market intelligence company does not paint a hopeful image for this market. Supply and inventory are still lagging behind demand, which, in turn, has not been tapered but at this time. There is no clear indication that the situation regarding the lack of components and logistical problems will be completed in the near future, and whatever growth might be enjoyed by the PC market in the last 18 months may soon be lost again.
