Sales of tablets and smartphones in GCC set for further growth
- Middle East: Wednesday, November 28 - 2012 at 04:59
IDC has said tablets and smartphones are to continue to eat further into the Gulf PC shipments in the fourth quarter, as consumers are spending less on personal computers, Gulf News has reported. "Vendors and channels were stuck with high levels of inventory from the first half of this year due to continuously sluggish demand by end users," Fouad Rafiq Charakla, research manager at IDC, told the daily. PC shipments for the fourth quarter are expected to be 1.56 million units, a decline of 0.9%, compared with 1.57 million units during the same quarter last year. The UAE is the only country in the Gulf expected to register a 10% year-on-year growth to 683,725 units in the fourth quarter.
