PERSONAL computer (PC) shipments to the Philippines continued to decline in the third quarter of the year due to weak demand and inflationary effects, according to International Data Corp. (IDC).

“PC shipments… continued to slump, declining 19.8% year over year and 11% quarter over quarter, reaching 565,000 units in the third quarter,” IDC said in a recent analysis, citing its Worldwide Quarterly Personal Computing Device Tracker.

“On the flip side, notebook shipments recorded a year-on-year decline of 29.5% caused by the weakened demand from market saturation and inflation effects on the average buyer,” IDC noted. It declined by only 0.5% year on year “given its optimal price-to-performance ratio in which the top PC makers are maintaining affordability while offering sleeker designs with greater processing capabilities and a wider selection of available models,” IDC said.
