Worldwide PC shipments declined 12.6% in the second quarter of 2022, the steepest decline in nine years, according to Gartner_HT. Read more here: CIO HighTech
Notes: Data includes desk-based PCs, notebook PCs, ultramobile premiums and Chromebooks, but not iPads. All data is estimated based on a preliminary study. Final estimates will be subject to change. The statistics are based on shipments selling into channels. Numbers may not add up to totals shown due to rounding.The EMEA PC market was the hardest hit in the second quarter of 2022 with a 18% decline in PC shipments, reaching only 17.8 million units.
EMEA also experienced a 20% decline in laptop shipments, while Chromebook shipments declined over 50% year-over-year. This is the result of overall sluggish demand from consumers across many countries in EMEA, struggling with price increases across many products, especially fuel and energy. A very high level of inflation will negatively impact consumer purchase power in the second half of 2022 and possibly into the first half of 2023.
The APAC PC market declined 5.2% in the second quarter of 2022, driven by a 16% decline in the China PC market. China’s zero COVID-19 policy dramatically impacted the economy with lockdowns in Shanghai stopping carriers and logistics and any online orders and delivery in Shanghai during the time. The Japanese PC market declined 10.8% in the second quarter of 2022. The decline was partly impacted by the steep depreciation of the Japanese Yen. PC prices increased steadily as a reflection of the weak currency value. Other influencing factors included rising fuel costs and temporary impact from the China lockdown, tightening IT spending in general.
These results are preliminary. Final statistics will be available soon to clients of Gartner’s PC Quarterly Statistics Worldwide by Region program. This program offers a comprehensive and timely picture of the worldwide PC market, allowing product planning, distribution, marketing and sales organizations to keep abreast of key issues and their future implications around the globe.
