Global PC shipments suffer fourth quarter of double-digit decline Featured
By Sam Varghese
Global PC shipments fell by 33% to 54 million units year-on-year in the first quarter of 2023, the technology analyst firm Canalys reports, adding that this was the fourth consecutive quarter of double-digit declines.
Another analyst firm, IDC, put the drop at 29%, with shipments for the period coming in at 56.1 million units.
Canalys said notebook shipments suffered a decline of 34% to 41.8 million units, with desktop PC shipments fell by 28% to 12.1 million units.
IDC said shipment volume was much lower than the 59.2 million units shipped in the first quarter of 2019 and and the 60.6 million units shipped in the first quarter of 2018.
"Even with heavy discounting, channels and PC makers can expect elevated inventory to persist into the middle of the year and potentially into the third quarter."
Canalys senior analyst Ishan Dutt said most issues that plagued the industry in the second half of 2022 had extended into the start of 2023.
“Channel partners have indicated that their inventory levels have been reducing, but remain high in absolute terms," he said. "About 39% of partners surveyed by Canalys in January 2023 reported having more than five weeks of PC inventory, with 18% reporting nine weeks or more.
"Meanwhile, demand across all customer segments remains dampened, with more pressure arising from further interest rate increases in the US, Europe and other markets, where reducing inflation is a top priority.
"Consumers and businesses will remain cautious about outlays on new PCs in the short term, with significant market recovery only expected to kick in during the fourth quarter of 2023. The PC market has strong fundamentals to drive long-term growth, with shipment volumes higher than in the pre-pandemic era.
"A much larger installed base post-COVID-19, the transition to Windows 11, and both refresh and new demand from digital education will all be key drivers as the global economy enters a period of recovery in 2024 and beyond.”
