New delhi, (PTI): Economic downturn seems to have impacted India's personal computer shipments too, which reached just 2.26 million units in the third quarter (July-Spetmeber), a marginal growth of 1.7 per cent over the same period a year ago.
Industry tracking firm IDC today said the desktop PC shipments fell 8.9 per cent (1,563 units against 1,717 in the Q3 of last fiscal), while notebook PC shipments grew 37.8 per cent (705 units against 512 in Q3 of last fiscal) during the period over the same quarter a year ago.
Though it may be too early to conclude that this is a sign of market consolidation, IDC believes it is a visible indicator of faster movement of 'branded' desktop PCs as compared to white box shipments, IDC said.
In the overall PC (Notebooks and Desktops combined) market, Hewlett-Packard had the highest market share of 19.7 per cent in the third quarter followed by HCL with 9.8 per cent and Dell at third spot with 9.6 per cent share.
While, in the desktop PC shipments too HP continued to lead the market in the third quarter, followed by HCL and Acer in second and third spots respectively.
HP, Dell and Acer were the top three players in notebook PC shipments in third quarter of 2008.
According to Sumanta Mukherjee, Lead Analyst, PC Research, IDC India, "The contribution of the 'Top 5' PC vendors to India Client PC shipments grew from 47.2 per cent in the third quarter of 2008." Related Articles :
