The combined desk-based and mobile PC market in India totaled nearly 2.2
million units in the second quarter of 2015, a 13 percent decrease over
the second quarter of 2014, according to a report by market research
firm Gartner.
American global IT major Hewlett-Packard (HP) still
maintained the top slot with 26.3 percent market share despite showing a
decline of 6.1 percent. It had recorded 29.4 percent market share in
the second quarter of 2014.
"Consumers accounted for 48 percent
of total PC sales in the second quarter of 2015," said Gartner research
director Vishal Tripathi.
"In the absence of any substantial
demand from enterprises this quarter, the Indian PC market performed
dismally, re-emphasizing the fact that sentiments were not very positive
in the second quarter of 2015. The enterprise segment might witness
some growth going forward due to government and education projects,
however there might not be a significant bounce back," he added.
According
to Gartner, Lenovo experienced the largest increase in market share,
accounting for 18.1 percent of PC shipments in India in the second
quarter of 2015, up from 14 percent share in the same period last year.
Its growth primarily came from the consumer PC segment where it grew by 59 percent.
While
Dell, which is second-seeded in the list, showed a growth of 2.7
percent in market share compared to the second quarter of 2014, Acer
showed a decline of 3.1 percent.
Also, assembled PCs, which
accounted for 44 percent of the overall desktop market, declined 7
percent in the period under review.
"Mobile PCs declined 18 percent year-on-year due to a deeper slack in consumer demand," the report showed.
