Dell lost PC market share to Lenovo, HP, Apple and Acer

The latest IDC report has revealed the PC market share of Lenovo, HP, Dell Technologies, Apple and Acer during the first quarter of 2021.

Shipments of PCs, including desktops, notebooks, and workstations, grew 55.2 percent year over year and declined 8 percent quarter-on-quarter to 84 million during the first quarter of 2021.

The growth rate in worldwide PC business was due to the shortages faced in the first quarter of 2020 when the global pandemic began, said Jitesh Ubrani research manager for IDC’s Mobile Device Trackers.

PC market is struggling due to component shortages and logistics issues. Both component shortages and logistics issues have contributed to an increase in average selling prices.

The boom in the PC market as well as increases in average selling prices (ASPs) have been driven by growth in gaming, the need for higher performance notebooks in the enterprise, and increase in demand for touchscreens within the education segment.
