Over the past two years, PC shipments plummeted by more than 100-million units, according to research group Stocklytics, which adds that 2023 culminated in a historic low for the industry. Global PC shipments fell from approximately 342-million units in 2021 to around 242-million units last year.
PC sales in 2023 started their descent early with the first quarter seeing a 29% freefall compared to the same timeframe in 2022. Global shipments slipped to 56,9-million units, reverting to pre-pandemic levels before the industry’s record-setting 342-million shipments in 2021. Unfortunately, the sluggish pace set by Q1 2023 sales carried through the year.
Last year’s shipments represent a further 15% drop from 2022’s 286-million shipments, marking a tumultuous round for the PC market. The lull in shipment orders for these two years has made industry players rethink their market standpoints – some have already begun exploring other viable production plants outside of China, given that it was the largest consumer market for these devices.
This partial rebound seems to signal the start of an impressive trajectory for the market given that the quarterly results were astoundingly close to 2019 Q1’s 60,5-million shipments.
