The global PC market is seeing a double-digit dip but still remains resilient overall. Lenovo has managed to retain its lead in the segment in terms of shipments, while other brands like Apple took a hit.
Lenovo PC Shipments hold out amid a declining market
According to a Counterpoint Research report, the global PC market saw a decline of 15 percent year on year in Q2 2023, although this period saw a bump in shipments over the previous quarter. During this time, Lenovo managed to retain its throne despite seeing an 18 percent year on year hit in shipments. Meanwhile, HP came in second and Dell took the third spot, with 13.3 million and 10.2 million PC shipments.
Interestingly, Apple is the only brand in the top 5 list that saw growth in the second quarter of this year. Its PC shipments rose by 8 percent, hitting 5.5 million units. The Cupertino based giant took the fourth spot, just ahead of Acer. The report pointed at the lack of “solid growth drivers” as one of the factors that led to the market’s slope.
Furthermore, it appears that global PC shipments are finally returning to a level before the Coronavirus pandemic boom. In the second half of this year, the market will see a slight rise, but shipments are expected to decline year on year in the coming quarters as well.
