Description

This IDC study reviews the performance of the worldwide PC market during the fourth quarter of 2005 (4Q05) and provides a set of tables summarizing the full year 2005. This study looks at the market performance of desktop and portable PCs as well as provides commentary on x86 servers in major geographies, including the United States, Western Europe, Japan, Asia/Pacific excluding Japan (APEJ), and the rest of the world (ROW). Details on unit shipments, market value, and average selling prices (ASPs) are provided, along with a review of the competitive performance of the top PC vendors.

"The worldwide PC market in the fourth quarter performed well. It managed to produce double-digit growth rates both year on year, as an indication of continued expansion of the installed base, and sequentially, largely as a result of year-end holiday sales and strong consumer activity." - David Daoud, research manager, United States Quarterly PC Tracker and Personal Computing CIS program
