Lenovo topped the global PC shipments list in 2021 and demand will continue to be strong in 2022

The Hong Kong Stock Research Agency learned that IDC released preliminary statistics on global PC shipments in 2021 on January 12, and global PC shipments in 2021 increased by 14.8% year-on-year, returning to the high of 349 million units in 2012, rebounding by more than 34% compared with the industry low in 2017. IDC believes that in 2022, China's PC market will continue to rise driven by market demand led by college students, fashion emerging, digital-driven and digitally native enterprises.

Canalys released a report saying that global PC shipments will continue to grow. Global PC shipments in 2021 were approximately 341 million units, the largest shipment since 2012.

Among them, Lenovo, HP, Dell, Apple, Asus and Acer ranked in the top six, and Lenovo ranked first after occupying the top spot with a market share of 25.2% in 2020. It is worth noting that the peak demand of the PC industry in 2021 is facing a "global lack of cores", which has also driven the performance of companies in the semiconductor field such as Apple, Intel, AMD, and NVIDIA to soar.

In fact, in various channels such as e-commerce, due to the wide range of out-of-stock of a variety of popular models - including graphics cards and other core products, the demand for the PC market is likely not to be fully released, especially in the field of high-performance games.

Rahul Tikoo, senior vice president of Dell's Customer Product Group, believes that the pandemic has permanently changed consumer spending habits, and now everyone needs their own computer, which is very similar to the smartphone industry. "I think the PC industry is in a transition phase right now," he says. We are moving from one PC per household to one PC per person, and that's the smartphone model. ”
