Le spedizioni di PC in tutto il mondo diminuiscono di un altro 15.0% nel terzo trimestre del 2022, Secondo IDC Tracker

Declines continued for the traditional PC market as global shipments totaled 74.3 million units during the third quarter of 2022 (3Q22), secondo i risultati preliminari della International Data Corporation (IDC) Tracker di dispositivi di personal computer trimestrale in tutto il mondo. Cooling demand and uneven supply have contributed to a year-over-year contraction of 15.0%. Tuttavia, shipment volumes remain well above pre-pandemic levels when PC volumes were largely driven by commercial refreshes due to the looming end of support for Windows 7.

“Consumer demand has remained muted though promotional activity from the likes of Apple and other players has helped soften the fall and reduce channel inventory by a couple weeks across the board,” disse Jitesh Ubrani, research manager for IDC’s Mobility and Consumer Device Trackers. “Supply has also reacted to the new lows by reducing orders with Apple being the only exception as their third quarter supply increased to make up for lost orders stemming from the lockdowns in China during the second quarter.”

“In addition to shipment volumes, we’ll be keeping a close eye on how average selling prices (ASP) trend this quarter,” added Linn Huang, vicepresidente della ricerca, Devices & Displays at IDC. “Shortages over the last several years have aggressively driven product mix shifts towards the premium end. Questo, coupled with cost increases of components and logistics, drove ASPs up five quarters in a row to $910 nel 1Q22, the highest since 2004. Tuttavia, with demand slowing, promotions in full swing, and orders being cut, the ASP climb was reversed in 2Q22. Another quarter of ASP declines indicates a market in retreat.”
