Following the double-digit decline in shipments last year, global desktop PC shipment volume topped 80.04 million units in 2021, up 2.1% year-on-year. The mild growth was due to stay-at-home gaming demand and the commercial replacement demand. It is anticipated that global desktop PC shipment volume will reach 80.7 million units in 2022, down 2.4% year-on-year. The global economic and political uncertainties have their toll on the industry despite the pandemic and the shortage of components seem to ease this year.
