The analyst company Canalys has predicted that the PC market decline in Western Europe has bottomed out during the first quarter of 2023. It said that delays in new purchases will start to give way in 2024 as well and this will help the market recover. It also said this will be when businesses begin their more widespread transition to Windows 11.
Looking back to 2022, Canalys found that PC shipments in the region fell by 38% year-on-year to 10.7 million units in Q4’22. Notebooks were down 40%, desktops were down 29%, and tablets were down 17%. For the full year, PC and tablet shipments fell by 21% and 18% respectively. More declines are expected in 2023, just not as steep as the one experience in Q1’23.
Discussing the effects of the pandemic and interest rate hikes on PC sales, Canalys Research Analyst Kieren Jessop said:
Canalys also provided details about which OEMs saw the biggest Q4’22 year-on-year declines. The Others category typically fared worst with -49.2% growth, however, among those names, HP and Dell did the worst with growth rates of -42.8% and -42.4% respectively. The strongest company was Apple which saw a decline of only -22.8%.
