Shipments of personal computers grew 3.8 per cent on a year-on-year basis to 14.4 million driven by demand for gaming and AI-powered PCs, market research firm IDC said on Monday. IDC India, South Asia and ANZ, associate vice president for devices research, Navkendar Singh said the weakening rupee can lead to an increase in device costs, which can impact the price-sensitive SMB (small and medium businesses) and consumer segments but despite all challenges, the India PC market is most likely to witness a low single-digit growth in 2025.
Lenovo had just 3.8 per cent share in the SMB segment.
Buoyed by strong demand from the corporate and small-and-medium business (SMB) sectors in India, Dell Inc, the world's No. 2 computer maker, said on Tuesday that it would be doubling the production capacity of its lone plant in India from 4 lakh to about 1 million units per annum. In a move to achieve this, the company announced the manufacture of a wide range of laptop lines at the Sriperumbudur plant near Chennai.
Indian PC shipments for the third quarter of CY21 touched a total of 4.5 million, making it India's biggest-ever single quarter. To put this in perspective, it is bigger than the total yearly consumer shipments in 2019, a year before the pandemic hit. As a result, many brands also reported their biggest quarter of PC shipments.
For Q4CY20, PC shipments grew by 27 per cent year-on-year, said data from the IDC.
