The worldwide shipments of traditional PCs, inclusive of desktops, notebooks and workstations, reached 83.6 million units in the second quarter this year, up 13.2 per cent from the second quarter of 2020, a new IDC report said.
Lenovo led the segment with 23.9 per cent market share, followed by HP Inc at 22.2 per cent and Dell at 16.7 per cent market share globally.
Apple was fourth with 7.4 per cent share and Acer closed the top 5 list with 7.3 per cent share.
The surge in PC demand continued through the second quarter of 2021, despite global component shortages and logistics issues, according to IDC’s Worldwide Quarterly Personal Computing Device Tracker.
“The PC market’s hot streak continued to drive heavy investments from the supply side including the entry of new vendors as well as additional spend from underdogs,” said Jitesh Ubrani research manager for IDC’s Mobile and Consumer Device Trackers.
“While the top 5 continue to drive volume, the smaller vendors have helped drive growth by offering unique features or niche designs,” Ubrani said in a statement.
