Market With Best PC and Laptop Sales in Last 10 Years

The PC market experiences its best period in the last ten years. The 2020 Q4 hardware sales report prepared by International Data Corporation reveals that more than 91 million desktop computers, laptops and workstations were sold in the last three months of last year. This is 26% more than in 2019, and brings the total sales figure for 2020 to over 300 million, an improvement of over 13%.

Of course, the biggest contributor to the increased hardware demand, especially in the case of laptops, was the coronavirus pandemic that broke out in early 2020.

The best results for the fourth quarter of last year can boast Lenovo, which sold more than 23 million PCs. Second place went to HP with over 19 million ynits, while Dell Technologies came in third with just under 16 million PCs sold.

The report also informs that in the last decade, the market has been in decline for as much as six years, although it should be noted that this does not apply to gaming hardware. This segment has been growing steadily over the past few years and there is little evidence that this will change. Even if we take into account the abysmal availability of some components, with special emphasis on new graphics cards and processors.
