Even as the PC sales in the country registered a growth of 10.6 per cent year-on-year in the fourth quarter of 2015, research firm Gartner on Wednesday said it does not see “significant growth” in the segment in the coming quarters.
According to Gartner, PC shipments in the October-December 2015 period increased to 2.6 million units. Further, the data showed that Lenovo moved to the top rank in PC shipments in India during the quarter with market share of 25.3 per cent, up from 18 per cent in the year-ago period. The research firm said the state government order execution in the quarter helped Lenovo experience the largest increase in market share.
Lenovo had bagged an order last year from the Tamil Nadu Government for supply of 6.6 lakh laptops to be distributed free to school and college students.
HP ranked second with 23.3 per cent market share, followed by Dell (20.6 per cent) and Acer (13.9 per cent).
“The PC market in India is facing some challenging market dynamics. The enterprise segment might witness some growth going forward due to government and education projects, however, we do not foresee significant growth in the PC market in India,” Vishal Tripathi, Director at Gartner Research said.
Sales in the consumer segment, which accounted for 40 per cent of total PC sales in the October-December quarter, were down 52 per cent year-on-year.
