PC Sales In India Drop By 8.3% – HP Is Still Ruling

Nov 26, 2013, 17:33 IST
In India, procuring a mobile phone or tablet is easier than laying your hands on a PC. Yes, we do have one of the largest PC markets in Asia, located in Delhi, where hundreds of PC’s get sold everyday. However, computers sales have declined from the last quarter. According to an IDC report, the PC market grew 8.4% (year on year) in the July-September quarter in 2013, but it went down by 8.3% over second quarter of 2013 (quarter on quarter).

The slow adoption of special education projects in states like Uttar Pradesh and Tamil Nadu, and a much delayed spending in the year from the BFSI segment have largely skewed the overall growth in Q3 towards the commercial segment. As per IDC experts, the final quarter of 2013 will also see a decline in PC sales due to the legislative assembly elections across the country, as well as price hikes.

The report also states that HP is still the dominant player with more than 32% market share in the Indian PC segment, followed by Lenovo and Dell.
