Personal Computing Device Market Rides Several Trends to Produce Solid Results in 2Q19
July 12, 2019 | IDCEstimated reading time: 4 minutes
Lenovo moved into the top position, capturing 25% of the market with more than 16.2 million units shipped. The company has won some large commercial bids, such as the ELCOT project in India, which helped drive shipments. Beyond that, the fear of additional tariffs led Lenovo (along with others) to ship additional units during the quarter.
HP ranked second with 3.2% year-over-year growth. EMEA, the United States, and Japan were the company's strongest performing markets as HP experienced positive growth in each region.
Dell Technologies maintained the third position with healthy 3.1% growth during the quarter. Desktops once again proved to be Dell's strong suit as the company managed to raise its share in the desktop market by 1 percentage point.
Acer Group was one of the few companies that saw a decline this quarter despite having shipped additional units ahead of potential tariffs. The company continues to perform well in the value segment of the market and regions such as North America and Japan remained strongholds.
Apple rounded out the top 5, shipping nearly 4.1 million units. Like other companies, Apple managed to move additional units into the channels to fend off potential tariffs. Additionally, the recent launch of new notebooks leaves the company in a position with plenty of inventory on-hand.
