The global computer market, which encompasses desktops, laptops, and workstations, experienced a 29 % decline in the first quarter of 2023 compared to the same period a year earlier.

Total shipments reached 56.9 million units, representing a return to pre-coronavirus pandemic patterns after growth experienced between 2020 and 2021. According to IDC, a technology consultancy, this downward trend has continued in recent quarters, culminating in a 16.5 % decline in 2022. The top five companies in the market experienced year-on-year declines of between 24 % and 40 % through March 2023.

Lenovo remains the market leader, with a 22.4 % share and 12.7 million shipments, although it is down 30.3 % compared to the previous year. HP occupies the second position, with 21.1 % of the market and 12 million units sold, which represents a decrease of 24.2 %.

Dell Technologies, in third place, has shipped 9.5 million units and accounts for 16.7 % of the total after a 31 % decline. In fourth position, Apple owns 7.2 % of the market and has shipped 4.1 million units, representing a decrease of 40.5 %. Asus is in fifth place, with 6.8 % of the market and 3.9 million computers sold, representing a decrease of 30.3 %.

Although PC shipments are expected to continue to decline in the near term, they are expected to return to growth by the end of the year if the global economy improves and consumers opt to replace their devices.
