Thanks to CTOnews.com netizens for the delivery of clues on the way! CTOnews.com, August 30 (Xinhua)-- shipments of Chinese mainland personal computers (desktops, notebooks and workstations) slowed in the second quarter of 2023, falling 19% year-on-year to 9.6 million units, Canalys official account reported. Shipments of desktops (including desktop workstations) and notebooks (including mobile workstations) both fell 19 per cent to 3 million and 6.6 million.

As of July, the economic recovery was weaker than expected and IT investment in the business sector remained cautious, Canalys said. In the same period last year, Apple's supply chain faced challenges that affected its supply, compared with a strong rebound in iPad shipments in the second quarter of this year, driving Chinese mainland tablet growth of 8 per cent to 6.5 million units year-on-year.

▲ Touyuan Canalys official account CTOnews.com also learned from the Canalys report that Canalys claimed that the commercial market situation of Chinese mainland was grim, with PC shipments plummeting 22% year-on-year to 4.2 million units in the second quarter of 2023. Shipments in the consumer market fell slightly, but still fell 16 per cent year-on-year to 5.4 million units.

Xu Ying, an analyst at Canalys, said, "Chinese mainland's business recovery is lower than expected. Falling exports, weak consumption and a slowdown in bank lending all herald further challenges for the IT industry, especially the PC market. Under the influence of the uncertain economic outlook, major enterprises have become more cautious in their investment decisions, while small and medium-sized enterprises with limited budgets have become more conservative in investment and expenditure. During the period of market downturn and economic restructuring, the government is expected to take stimulus measures to revive investment and boost confidence. "

Xu Ying added, "for the consumer market, although the turnover of the" 618 "shopping festival increased by 15%, the growth was largely concentrated in categories such as daily necessities, cosmetics and fashion items, while the performance of electronic products was restrained. Although major manufacturers stepped up their promotions in the second quarter of 2023, shipments in the PC market have failed to grow, indicating that consumers will not make replacement a priority in the short term. "

Canalys expects Chinese mainland's PC market recovery to remain challenging, with shipments expected to fall 19% year-on-year for all of 2023.

Lenovo still tops the Chinese mainland PC market, but shipments plunged 24% from a year earlier. Hewlett-Packard and Huawei ranked second and third respectively, up 6% from a year earlier. Dell fell the most among the top manufacturers, plunging 52% from a year earlier, and its market share hit a new low in recent years, which was replaced by Huawei. Apple grew 17% year-on-year, ranking fifth.

Apple ranks first in Chinese mainland's tablet market, with shipments of 2.3 million units, up 47 per cent from a year earlier. Apple's significant growth was due to relatively weak shipments due to severe supply chain disruptions in the second quarter of 2022.
