The PC market had a downright dismal end to 2022, and there could be worse to come in 2023.
three big analyst firms recently published statistics that made for grim reading. The consensus from Gartner, IDC, and Canalys is that fourth-quarter shipments came in at somewhere around 65-68 million units, down almost 30 per cent compared to last year.
Overall, Gartner said Q4 2022 marks the largest quarterly shipment decline since it began tracking the PC market almost 30 years ago, while Canalys pointed out that it marked the fourth consecutive quarter of declines. “Consecutive quarters of declines clearly paint a gloomy picture of the PC market, but this is really all about perception,” said group vice president of IDC’s worldwide mobility and consumer device trackers, Ryan Reith, in a statement on Tuesday.Reith added, “2021 was near historic levels for PC shipments, so any comparison is going to be distorted.”
This barely qualifies as a crumb of comfort though, because the worsening economic outlook means fewer people are prepared to cough up for a new PC.
