According to IDC, the global shipments of PCs totaled 262.7 million units in 2024, which was 1% higher than the previous year, a very modest growth. All leading PC makers, except Dell, managed to sell more client computers than in 2023 and slightly increased their market shares, essentially eating the lunch of smaller PC makers.
Lenovo led with a 23.5% share for the entire year, shipping 61.8 million units, a 4.7% increase. HP retained its somewhat distant second position with 53.0 million shipments, growing 0.1%, while Dell shipped 39.1 million units, down 2.2%. Apple’s shipments rose to 22.9 million, up 4.5%, and Asus saw the largest growth at 6.4%, reaching 17.9 million units. Shipments from smaller vendors declined 2.1%, reflecting consolidation among major players.
