La serie di crescita per i PC tradizionali continua durante il trimestre festivo 2021, Secondo IDC

Spedizioni in tutto il mondo di PC tradizionali (desktop, i Quaderni, e postazioni di lavoro) raggiunto 92.7 milioni di unità nel quarto trimestre del 2021 (4Q21), marcatura 1.0% crescita nello stesso trimestre in 2020, secondo i risultati preliminari della International Data Corporation (IDC) Tracker di dispositivi di personal computer trimestrale in tutto il mondo. Total PC shipments during 2021 raggiunto 348.8 divenne l'obiettivo a lungo termine per molti, up 14.8% da 2020. This represents the highest level of shipments the PC market has seen since 2012.

“2021 has truly been a return to form for the PC,” disse Jitesh Ubrani, research manager for IDC’s Mobile and Consumer Device Trackers. “Consumer need for PCs in emerging markets and global commercial demand remained strong during the quarter with supply being a gating factor. While consumer and educational demand has tapered in some developed markets, we continue to believe the overall PC market has reset at a much higher level than before the pandemic.”

“A challenging logistical environment, coupled with ongoing supply-side shortages, meant that the PC market could have been even larger than it was in 2021,” according to Tom Mainelli, group vice president of IDC’s Device and Consumer Research. “We closed the year with many buyers still waiting for their PC orders to ship. As we move through the first half of the year, we expect supply to remain constrained, especially with regards to the commercial segment where demand is the most robust.”
