Finally, A Silver Lining
DataQuest
|August 2018
After a lull, the India PC market is showing signs of rebound and indicates a positive outlook as we move forward.
FY 2017 was a challenging year as the overall PC market went through a rough phase. As we take an audit of the PC market for FY 18. According to Dataquest estimates, for the year ended March 2018, the total India PC shipments stood at 9.8 million units, signifying a 9% growth and much-needed revival.
MARKET DYNAMICS
As usual, the market saw the routine issue- Quarter on Quarter decline/ growth and sequential pressures. While AMJ 17 was probably the worst quarter with a big decline, the segment bounced back with a bang in the JAS 17 quarter, making up for the loss in the previous quarter. What happened in the AMJ 17 quarter was majorly due to the impact of GST and as a result, the PC market saw a decline in shipments.
