A report by Counterpoint Research confirms that we have just witnessed a 3% year-on-year growth in global PC shipments, following two years of decline, with the industry returning to pre-pandemic levels. The change is credited to the onset of the AI PC era, shipment recoveries in respective sectors, and end-user upgrade cycles.
Counterpoint's report broadly agrees with the recent findings of IDC, which reported 8% growth during Q1 2024. Both research groups reckon Lenovo is enjoying the lion's share of the global PC with 23-24%, followed by HP and Dell. Apple, Inc. also enjoyed some growth which may be credited to its M3-based systems. These companies are consistent and resilient in maintaining their top four placings in the global market.
