Shulou(Shulou.com)05/31 Report--

IDC analysts have reported a 5.1% drop in PC shipments in the first quarter, and their colleagues from Gartner announced an even bigger decline-- all down 7.3%-- but also noted the positive. Producers who have the least contact with consumers and the education sector feel good. Dale is one of the lucky ones.

In the first quarter of this year, 77.5 million laptops and personal computers were delivered in the global market, down 7.3 per cent from the same period last year, according to Gartner. The authors of the study believe that the main reason for the negative dynamics is the sharp decline in demand for student equipment running Google Chrome OS. If you exclude them from the statistics, PC shipments even increased by 3.3 per cent in the first quarter.

The second negative factor is the decline in demand in the consumer sector, which can be felt even in relatively large and prosperous regional markets such as the United States, but it is most evident in Eastern Europe, where Russia launched special operations at the end of February. Economic uncertainty forces consumers to shift their priorities from buying computers to more urgent needs.

Mikako Kitagawa, director of research at Gartner, said: "Chromebook growth has slowed after an unprecedented surge in Chromebook in 2020 and early 2021, driven by demand from the US education market." "achieving growth is a challenging quarter for the PC and Chromebook markets, as the PC market recorded its highest growth in decades at this time last year."

Dell, although it ranks third in the ranking of the largest PC suppliers, accounting for 17.7% of the global market, was able to increase product shipments by 5% last quarter; overall, this is the sixth consecutive quarter of sales growth for the manufacturer. Dell is mainly focused on the enterprise sector and is now showing good momentum.
