According to the preliminary results of IDC’s Global Quarterly Personal Computing Device Tracker, global shipments of traditional PCs including desktops, laptops, and workstations reached 83.6 million units in the second quarter of 2021, an increase of 13.2 over the second quarter of 2020. %. Increasing demand for personal computers and shortages have greatly affected the supply of notebook computers, causing the growth of desktop computers to exceed the growth of notebook computers in the quarter.

IDC mobile and consumer device tracker research manager Jitesh Ubrani said: "While the top 5 continues to drive sales, smaller vendors have helped drive growth by providing unique features."

Although the annual growth rate is still high, since the growth rate of 13% in the second quarter of 2021 is much lower than the growth rate of 55.9% in the first quarter of 2021 and the growth rate of 25.8% in the fourth quarter of 2020, it has begun to gradually increase slow. "In terms of demand, the market is facing mixed signals," said Neha Mahajan, senior research analyst at IDC's Equipment and Display Group. "With the reopening of enterprises, the demand potential in the commercial sector seems promising. However, as people change their consumption focus after the massive purchase of PCs in the past year, there are also early signs of a slowdown in consumer demand."
