Description

This study presents the results of IDC's research on the personal computer (PC) market in Belarus for 2004. The information contained in this study is intended to provide an overview of how the market developed in 2004 and IDC's opinion on how it will evolve over the next five years. Our 2004 figures and analysis are based on information sourced from interviews with the leading personal computer companies (vendors, distributors, assemblers, systems integrators, value-added resellers, and dealers) on the market. An IDC representative conducted all interviews locally.

This analysis of the Belarusian PC market helps identify and answer the following key questions:

What are the defining characteristics of the Belarusian PC market? How will the economic environment affect the amount and type of demand for PCs? 'What influences the balance of power between international and local vendors? How will prices on different PC products (consumer and commercial desktops, notebooks, and x86 servers) evolve and how will this affect growth? What factors shape distribution channel strategies in this emerging market? Which vendors are outperforming the market and which are losing ground? What factors are driving growth in the corporate, small business, and consumer segments of the Belarusian PC market? Where are the greatest opportunities for future growth? What critical market dynamics are leading to vendor market consolidation (or fragmentation)? What are leading vendors' strategies to improve their market positions?

"The Belarusian PC market is slowly maturing. Notebooks are gaining share as prices fall, and the x86 server segment will present good opportunities for vendors as end users build increasingly complex IT infrastructure. Despite these positive developments, however, Belarus' tough customs and administrative regimes make the country unlikely to become a priority market for foreign vendors any time in the near future." - Timur Faroukshin, IDC Russia, Program Manager
