Despite high demand, the U.S. saw PC sales slip in the third quarter amid supply-chain problems.
PC shipments were constrained in the third quarter and supply-chain issues and chip shortages persisted worldwide as more students going back to school in person sapped a surge powered by the COVID-19 pandemic, according to research firm data Monday.
“The PC industry continues to be hampered by supply and logistical challenges and unfortunately these issues have not seen much improvement in recent months,” said Jitesh Ubrani, research manager for IDC’s Mobile Device Trackers, in a statement. “After a year of accelerated buying driven by the shift to remote work and learning, there’s also been a comparative slowdown in PC spending and that has caused some softening of the U.S. PC market today,” Mahajan said. “Yet, supply clearly remains behind demand in key segments with inventory still below normal levels.”
“Business PC demand remained strong, led by economic recovery in key regions and the return of some workers to offices,” Kitagawa said. “However, business PC growth was concentrated in the desktop segment as semiconductor shortages continued to constrain laptop shipments. These component shortages are expected to persist into the first half of 2022.”
