The International Data Corporation (IDC) presented a forecast for the global market for personal computer devices for the current year.
The figures released include shipments of desktops and workstations, laptops, XNUMX-in-XNUMX hybrid computers, and ultrabooks and mobile workstations.
It is reported that in 2020 the total supply of personal computer devices will be at the level of 374,2 million units. If this forecast comes true, the decrease in shipments compared to 2019 will be 9,0%.
Analysts say the spread of the new coronavirus will be one factor in the decline in sales. The disease has hit Chinese electronic component manufacturers and supply chains hard.
However, in 2021 the market will begin to recover. Thus, next year the total supply of personal computer devices will reach 376,6 million units. This will correspond to an increase of 0,6% compared to the current year.
At the same time, there will be a decrease in demand in the tablet segment. In 2020, it will decrease by 12,4%, in 2021 - by 0,6%.
