- The PC market grew 14.8% in 2021, shipping the largest number of desktops, laptops, and workstations in a single year since 2012.
- It’s a noteworthy recovery for a sector that had been written off by tech investors as a sleepy field in decline as recently as a few years ago.
- The six largest PC companies by number of units shipped in 2021 were Lenovo, HP, Dell, Apple, Asus, and Acer, according to IDC.
From the article:
It’s a noteworthy recovery for a sector that had been written off by tech investors and operators as a sleepy field in decline as recently as a few years ago as smartphones became the most important and highest-volume product in the electronics business.
The recovery has been driven by lockdowns and the rise in remote work and learning during the Covid-19 pandemic, as households purchased new laptops and PCs for schoolchildren in virtual classes and businesses bought equipment for employees working from home.
The recovery also happened in a year that was marked by temporary shortages in PCs, especially during the fall, driven by supply constraints from a global chip shortage.
So many story lines.
Just wait until Apple introduces the colorful desktop iMacs this spring.
