2Q 2020: PC WorldWide market share: Lenovo 25%, HP 24.9 %, Dell 16.4%, says Gartner.

Gartner Says Worldwide PC Shipments Grew 2.8% in the Second Quarter of 2020

Market Returns to Growth Due to Strong Mobile PC Demand and Recovery from COVID-19-Related Supply Chain Disruptions.

Worldwide PC shipments totaled 64.8 million units in the second quarter of 2020, a 2.8% increase from the second quarter of 2019, according to preliminary results by Gartner, Inc. After a significant decline in the first quarter of the year due to COVID-19-related supply chain disruptions, the PC market returned to growth as vendors restocked their channels and mobile PC demand increased.

“The second quarter of 2020 represented a short-term recovery for the worldwide PC market, led by exceptionally strong growth in EMEA,” said Mikako Kitagawa, research director at Gartner. “After the PC supply chain was severely disrupted in early 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, some of the growth this the quarter was due to distributors and retail channels restocking their supplies back to near-normal levels.

“Additionally, mobile PC growth was particularly strong, driven by several factors including business continuity for remote working, online education and consumers’ entertainment needs. However, this uptick in mobile PC demand will not continue beyond 2020, as shipments were mainly boosted by short-term business needs due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.”

In the second quarter of 2020, Lenovo and HP shared the number one position in the worldwide PC market, owing to HP’s strong growth in the quarter. They accounted for half of the PC shipments in the second quarter of 2020, up from 46.6% in the second quarter of 2019.

Lenovo maintained its No. 1 position in the worldwide PC market alongside HP, with 4.2% year over year growth in worldwide shipments. This was the result of strong double-digit growth in EMEA and over 50% growth in mobile PC shipments.

After a significant decline in the first quarter of 2020 due to supply chain constraints, HP recorded strong year over year growth in the second quarter as it recovered from those supply chain issues. HP showed particularly strong growth in EMEA and the U.S. brought on by healthy consumer demand for PCs.

Dell’s worldwide shipments declined slightly in the second quarter of 2020, representing its first year over year decline since the first quarter of 2016. Dell’s shipments grew in EMEA and Japan but declined in all other regions, with the steepest drop in Latin America (20%). In many regions, Dell’s mobile PCs showed double-digit growth, which was offset by a significant decline in shipments of desk-based PCs.

Happy Halloween!

Let me know if you think the PC is dead?

Many in the Press are talking about the death of the PC -- even people in our own industry are talking about how Smartphones and Tablets are taking over. This video with accompanying voice-over looks at the question of whether the PC is really dying and comes back with a resounding "NO" and compares the naysayers to those who worried about Y2K. The video promotes the PC as evolving and growing stronger with new segments like Ultrabooks™ and All-in-One PC's -- not to mention record PC sales in 2011.
