The global desktop computer shipment reached 76.8 million units, a 6.3% decline in 2022 compared to 2021. In the first half of 2022, desktop sales were affected by factors such as the return of workers to the office and the impact of rising global inflation. As a result, there was a decrease in shipments from the first quarter of 2022 onwards as the easing of COVID-19 ended the pandemic dividend, according to Yiling Chen, industry analyst with MIC (Market Intelligence & Consulting Institute).
