The global PC monitor market continued its quarterly decline in the fourth quarter of 2021 with unit shipments shrinking 5,2% compared to the same quarter in 2020.
With 143,6-million units shipped globally, 2021 also stood as the best performing year since 2012, when volume was 150,3-million. A weaker second half in 2021 brought down the strong momentum of the first half, which had an impressive year-over-year growth rate of 19,4%. However, even as monitor component supplies improved to some degree, persistent challenges from high shipping rates and Asian supply chain lockdowns remained. These challenges that defined the latter half of the year are expected to play well into 2022 and will lead to a 3,6% year-over-year decline in 2022.
“However, we now see growing saturation, inflationary pressures from the pandemic and the Ukrainian crisis further accelerating an already cooling environment in 2022, when we expect monitor shipments to shrink 3,6% and then stabilise after.”
