It was bad news for the PC industry in the recently completed first quarter of 2023. Analyst firms IDC and Canalys painted a grim picture for global PC shipments in that time period. IDC claims that shipments totaled 56.9 million, down 29 percent from the same period a year ago. Canalys' numbers were even worse, with just 54 million shipments, which it said was down 33 percent compared to the first quarter of 2023.
Both IDC and Canalys agree that Lenovo shipped the most PCs in the last quarter, followed by HP, Dell, Apple, and ASUS. Apple PCs suffered the biggest shipment drops during Q1 2023, with IDC stating its numbers were down 40.5 percent from the same period a year ago, and Canalys claiming Apple's PC shipments were down 45.5 percent.
Despite the bad news, both firms claim that the PC business could see the start of a recovery in the second half of 2023 and a larger recovery predicted for 2024. IDC says that by 2024, there will be a lot of older PCs that need upgrading. It added:
