JAKARTA - A few years ago the Personal Computer (PC) market stagnated, but during the pandemic, tremendous growth occurred for this sector, as resources were poured into technology upgrades, which made the demand for PCs grow.
According to a report from the International Data Corporation (IDC) quoted from Tom's Hardware, Wednesday, August 25, PC demand will continue to grow throughout 2021. The latest data, written in the IDC Worldwide Quarterly Personal Computing Device Tracker report, shows indications of PC shipments worldwide. will grow 14 percent in 2021 as the market experiences shipment demand reaching 347 million units.
"During the full 2021 to 2025 forecast period, legacy PCs, including desktops, notebooks and workstations, are expected to have a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.2 percent while tablets are expected to decline by 1.5 percent," the report said.
Despite short-term, panel and IC-related supply constraints, notebook PCs will remain the main driver of PC growth going forward. That means, that the main growth driver is the laptop market, which is in high demand.
Meanwhile, IDC data also mentions that pre-pandemic measurements and estimates in November 2019 experienced low PC demand, and the company estimates PCs will sell 373 million units by 2023. However, the IDC report estimates that there will be around half a billion personal computing devices shipped. in that year.
As IDC forecasts for several years in advance, demand is also expected to decrease in 2025 as general private budgets will be diverted to travel and other activities previously limited by the pandemic.
However, not everything looks like it, even as demand slows, the available market will still be much larger than it would have been if the pandemic had not occurred.
