The computer market, which showed record increases for two years during the pandemic period, almost crashed with normalization. Computer sales, which have been falling continuously for two quarters, are losing more than expected.
Computer market in losses
According to the research, computer shipments amounted to 71 million in the second quarter of the year and experienced a decrease of 15.3 percent year on year. Interestingly, all industry players closed this period with a decline.
While the market leader Lenovo could sell 17.5 million, it lost 12.1 percent. HP, which went head-to-head with Lenovo last year, fell 27.6 percent with 13.5 million sales and became the company that suffered the biggest loss.
Dell fell 5.3 percent while selling 13.2 million during this period. While the Acer group fell 19.2 percent with 5 million sales, Mac sales lost 22.5 percent with 4.8 million, despite the M1 chip. Asus, on the other hand, shrank 4.6 percent with 4.7 million sales and was the company that was least affected by the bad course.
The rapidly melting market is still above the 2019 levels, but there is little difference left. This gap will probably close during the year due to high inflation and rising prices.
