The recession in the world economy since the beginning of the year affects every sector negatively. In parallel with the decline in computer sales, there is a significant decline in sales of LCD monitors.
LCD monitor sales decline
According to the market analysis by TrendForce, 72.3 million monitors were shipped in the first half of the year. Due to stock shortages, the delay in orders placed from last year to this year and the acceleration of shipments from China were influential in the figure.
Is the HDD market dying?
In the second half of the year, around 67 million sales are expected. Projected sales of 34 million in the third quarter will decline to 33 million in the fourth quarter. The decline will continue on an annual basis.
A total of 140 million sales figures for 2022 are estimated, which means a 3.5 percent decrease on a yearly basis. However, it is stated that with some discount campaigns to be made by the manufacturers towards the end of the year, the stocks will be cleared and they may have some impact on sales.
