US-based market research company International Data Corporation (IDC) announced the computer sales figures for the second quarter of 2022. Studies have shown that computer sales have dropped drastically. So much so that PC manufacturers made only 71.3 million shipments in the last 3 months period. This figure was recorded as 15.3 percent lower than the same period of last year. IDC says the contraction in the industry is to be expected, but the COVID-19 restrictions in China and the global inflation further deepen the contraction.
As a matter of fact, these data do not paint such a bad picture. Yes, sales in 2022 are quite low compared to 2021. However, when we look at the pre-pandemic period, namely 2018-2019, we see an increase in sales. The shipment amount at that time was recorded as 62.1 million and 65.1 million, respectively. According to the statements made by Jitesh Ubrani, one of the IDC senior executives, as phones and tablets continue to be used; The contraction in the PC industry will continue. In fact, according to Ubrani, PCs may one day even come to the point of extinction.

The research also revealed the companies that lost the most blood between the second quarter of 2022 and the second quarter of 2021. Accordingly, the loser of the last three months was HP. Because HP shipments were 27.6 percent lower than the same period last year.
