There is a saying that when you close a door, it will definitely open a window for you, just like in the past three years, no one has thought that PCs and tablets affected by YQ have achieved the biggest growth in ten years. Today, the PC market is still growing, and everyone understands why.
On January 13, the well-known data research company Canalys officially released the 2021 global PC market survey report, which shows that the overall shipment of the global PC market in 2021 is about 341 million units, which is the most popular year in the world since 2012, and it is also the year with the largest global shipments. This is a 15% increase over 2020. Let's take a look at the specific rankings:
Champion: Lenovo, shipments of 82.1 million units, market share of 24.1%, an increase of 13.1%;
Runner-up: HP, shipments of 74.1 million units, market share of 21.7%, an increase of 9.5%;
Runner-up: Dell, shipments of 59.3 million units, market share of 17.4%, up 18.0% year-on-year;
Fourth place: Apple, shipments of 29 million units, market share of 8.5%, an increase of 28.3%;
Fifth place: Acer, with shipments of 24.4 million units, a market share of 7.1%, an increase of 21.8%.
From the overall market point of view, Lenovo is definitely the biggest winner, but we should pay attention to lenovo's market share decreased by 0.3 percentage points compared to 2021. This shows that the growth rate of other brands is more than Lenovo, and it is true in reality. Among the top five brands, Lenovo ranked fourth in year-on-year growth rate, only a little higher than HP. Of course, Lenovo's position and influence in the global PC market are still unshakable, but Lenovo must be careful. After all, there is now a chaotic war in the PC market, and the new forces and the old forces continue to increase the size of the slightest carelessness may lead to negative growth.
Here I have to mention the Apple brand, we please take a closer look at its year-on-year growth is the highest. This shows that Apple's self-developed M1 chip has played a decisive role, and in the future, Apple's brand will completely abandon Intel and use all of its own M1 series chips, which may be the worst news for Intel, but it is very stressful for other brands. After all, they don't have the same differentiated competition as Apple, they use the same chips and the same operating system.
