Computer sales in 2021 were record-breaking. This was reported in the report of the agency IDC.
High demand for computers and personal devices for work and entertainment has led to record market growth. For the first time in nine years, global PC shipments reached 348.8 million units, up 14.8 percent from 2020. “This is the highest level of shipments in the computer market since 2012,” the researchers noted.
Experts said that the computer market not only returned to pre-pandemic levels, but also surpassed it. Experts called 2021 the year of increased growth in the PC market and increased demand for such products. Computers proved to be in demand both at enterprises and among consumers.
The authors of the report noted that growth could have been even more noticeable, but it was limited by shortages of components and problems with supply chains. This was especially critical for the segment of commercial devices.
Lenovo led the segment in Q4 2021 with a 23.5 percent share. The top 5 computer vendors also included HP, Dell, Apple and Asus. The most notable growth in 2021 — 17.9 percent — was shown by Dell.
Earlier, Rosstat specialists reported that sales of expensive goods increased in Russia in 2021. Compared to 2019, Russians bought one and a half times more watches, smartphones and computers.
