Market Intelligence & Consulting Institute (MIC) has recently released our latest five-year forecast value pack, which delivers MIC's comprehensive research findings for the global notebook PC, desktop PC, server, motherboard, Wi-Fi connected device, and smartphone industries for the period 2024-2028.

When it comes to the global PC market, global PC shipments are expected to reach 246.1 million units in 2024 and 265.5 million units in 2025, up 8.3% year-on-year. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is estimated at 2.7% for the period 2024-2028.

Despite resolving excess inventory in the desktop PC supply chain and achieving healthier inventory levels, the market remained impacted by sluggish global economic conditions and high inflation rates, leading to sustained weak consumer demand for PC products. Nevertheless, the global desktop PC market is expected to rebound in 2024. Facing the ongoing global economic downturn, the notebook PC market witnessed another subdued year in 2023. Nevertheless, following two consecutive years of declining demand, manufacturers in the notebook PC supply chain are optimistic about a rebound in 2024, driven by the replacement demand from post-COVID-19 consumers.

Meanwhile, the global server market in 2024 is expected to experience a resurgence driven by factors such as generative AI and fine-tuning large language models (LLMs) for enterprises. The demand for AI servers is projected to continue rising, leading to a potential recovery in the global server market.

With global inflation pressures easing, global PC shipments are expected to return to positive growth in 2024, following two consecutive years of decline. This rebound will be driven by a wave of corporate upgrades. In 2025, AI PCs, benefiting from more integrated software and hardware, will be a key force in driving the industry's recovery.
