Description

This IDC study presents an updated look at the worldwide PC marketplace going forward. It incorporates the latest quarter (3Q07) with the forecast up to 2011. It is valid as of December 2007 and provides forecast and growth figures for PC shipments at the worldwide level and for key regional markets. Details include unit, value, and average system price (ASP) figures, including CAGRs for the period from 2006 to 2011. For comparison purposes, the tables in this document also include historical figures for 2004?2006.

"The PC market looks poised for a relatively strong 2008, with growth continuing to stem from portable adoption, consumer demand, retail, and growth in emerging markets. Some risk could come from the economic uncertainty affecting the United States, some component shortages, the potential delay in corporate refreshes, and other factors. We expect to see relatively strong growth for the next several years, with double-digit increases projected through 2009," says Doug Bell, research analyst, PC Tracker.
