December 08, 2023

Looking towards the year 2024, in the midst of ongoing geopolitical uncertainties, major PC brands are projecting cautious consumer spending, as stated by Chris Wei, Senior Industry Analyst at MIC (Market Intelligence & Consulting Institute). However, the commercial PC market is poised to experience positive effects from the introduction of AI PCs and the Windows replacement cycle. Chris Wei noted, "This is expected to result in a modest year-on-year growth of 5.8% in the global notebook PC market in 2024, with the market volume reaching approximately 179.1 million units. Simultaneously, the global desktop PC market is forecasted to exhibit a slight year-on-year growth of 1.7%, reaching around 67.970 million units."
