PC monitor demand to continue declining in 2013: IDC
- USA: Saturday, March 23 - 2013 at 01:44
IDC has lowered its forecast for PC monitors shipped in the fourth quarter of 2012 to 36.3 million units, down from its previous projection of 37.9 million units for the quarter, Digitimes has reported. The research firm also lowered its total shipment forecast for 2013 from 142.8 million units to 140.1 million units, which will represent a 6% on year decline. By 2017, worldwide shipments are expected to drop further to 122.2 million units, the firm said. "Increased adoption of mobile devices as personal computing devices amid ongoing economic concerns in most regions of the world and consumer confusion around the Windows 8 operating system have led some consumers to skip buying a new PC desktop and monitor this past holiday season, and we expect to see decreased demand continuing for 2013," said Jennifer Song, research analyst at IDC.
