Judging from the current trend, no matter how the development of smartphones is, it cannot replace the PC. Especially in the YQ era, the growth of the PC market is much higher than that of smartphones, which shows that although smartphones are convenient and fast, many jobs are not up to it. This may also be the reason why mobile phone brands are scrambling to enter the PC field. But it has to be said that the traditional brands in the PC space are still strong, and the new brands cannot pose any threat to them at present.
On March 3, the well-known data research company Canalys officially released the 2021 North American PC market research report, the following is a look at the specific ranking:
Champion: HP, shipments of 25.9 million units, market share of 28.9%, an increase of 0.5%;
Runner-up: Dell, shipments of 22 million units, market share of 24.5%, an increase of 6.5%;
Third place: Lenovo, shipments of 15.1 million units, market share of 16.8%, an increase of 11.0%;
Fourth place: Apple, shipments of 10 million units, market share of 11.1%, an increase of 12.0%;
Fifth place: Acer, shipments of 4.5 million units, market share of 5.0%, an increase of 4.2%.
From the overall report, HP and Dell firmly dominate the North American market, because the market share of these two brands together is more than 53%. But HP's growth rate is the lowest, and if Dell can continue to grow at its current growth rate, it is only a matter of time before it catches up with HP. Although the gap between Lenovo's second-tier brands and HP and Dell is not very large, it is still difficult to catch up with these two brands. This shows that Lenovo's recognition in the North American market is still not as good as HP and Dell.
Although Apple only ranks fourth, it should be noted that its growth rate is the highest among the top five brands. At this rate, it will soon surpass Lenovo, especially after Apple has all transferred to the self-developed M series chips, and the recognition of Apple PCs will be higher relative to now. And Apple's profits are far from being comparable to the brands on the list, so the X factor for the future change of the global PC pattern lies in Apple.
