Global PC market to drop 1.3% this year: IDC
- Middle East: Thursday, March 07 - 2013 at 07:01
IDC has said that global PC shipments in 2012 dropped 3.7% compared with the previous year, with computer shipments seen to drop another 1.3% in 2013. Total shipments of both desktops and notebooks this year is expected to hit 345.8 million units, down from 350.4 million units in 2012, said IDC. "Growth in emerging regions has slowed considerably, and we continue to see constrained PC demand as buyers favour other devices for their mobility and convenience features," programme vice president, worldwide PC trackers at IDC. "We still don't see tablets (with limited local storage, file system, lesser focus on traditional productivity, etc.) as functional competitors to PCs - but they are winning consumer dollars with mobility and consumer appeal nevertheless."
