PC Shipments Remained Strong in Q2 Signaling Vendors Getting Ahead of Tariff Deadlines
July 9, 2025 | IDCEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
PC shipments during the second quarter of 2025 grew 6.5% from the prior year, with global volumes reaching 68.4 million shipments, according to preliminary results from the International Data Corporation (IDC) Worldwide Quarterly Personal Computing Device Tracker.
Despite PC market growth in other geographies, the US market is starting to feel the pinch of import tariffs.
“We expected the US market to cool down this quarter given the inventory buildup to begin the year, but what we're witnessing here might highlight US PC demand slowing down in anticipation of the import tariffs looming deadline,” said Jean Philippe Bouchard, research vice-president with IDC's Worldwide Mobile Device Trackers. "Despite a flat US PC market, the rest of the world demonstrated an appetite for PCs, fueled by an aging installed base and by a steady transition to Windows 11.”
