India's traditional PC market saw a six-year high with 11 million
shipments of desktops, notebooks and workstations in 2019 -- an
impressive 18.1 per cent year-over-year (YoY) growth, the International
Data Corporation (IDC) said on Thursday.
HP regained the top position in Q4 as its shipments grew 8.6 per cent from the same time a year ago.
The
growth in the fourth quarter of 2019 was driven by the fulfilment of
few education deals and strong growth in the enterprise segment, said
the IDC report.
"We remain strongly focused to understand the
need of our customers and innovate to provide them the best in class
experience across our product offerings," Vickram Bedi, Senior Director,
Personal Systems, HP Inc. India said in a statement.
Lenovo slipped to second position in Q4 of 2019 but remains the leader for the overall year.
Lenovo's
commercial segment grew 32.1 per cent (YoY) and the consumer segment
witnessed 13.5 per cent annual growth in the last quarter of the year.
Dell Technologies maintained its third position in Q4 2019.
"While
large businesses were the volume driver, vendors invested in building
new teams, exploring new channels, and educating the customers to tap
the SMB segment," said Bharath Shenoy, Market Analyst, PC, IDC India.
"India's
SMB market provides a large opportunity for PC vendors in the next few
years, as SMBs strive to adopt new technologies for their digital
transformation journey," he added.
The PC growth was largely propelled by the government-driven education projects and upgrade purchases for Windows 10.
"In
absence of any fresh mega-deal, lingering concerns around component
shortage, and supply uncertainties due to recent novel coronavirus
outbreak, it would be difficult for vendors to maintain this level of
growth in 2020," said Jaipal Singh, Associate Research Manager, Client
Devices, IDC India.
