Asia-Pacific PC revenue increased by 15%

Market research firm IDC predicts revenue from PC business in the Asia-Pacific region - excluding Japan - will increase by 15% compared to the same period last year.

It is estimated that in the third quarter of this year, the Asia-Pacific market will consume about 12.6 million PC products.

According to IDC, the growing demand for laptop products in this market is the reason why PC revenue has achieved such high growth this year.

IDC's statistics show that revenue from laptop sales has increased by more than 37% in the third quarter of this year, with more than 3.3 million products sold, but a decrease of nearly 9% compared to last quarter (47%).

' Although revenue from laptop sales has decreased by 9% in the quarter but laptop products will continue to be the' golden egg chicken 'of the PC industry in the third quarter ,' he said. Bryan Ma, IDC's research director, said.

' Most countries in the Asia-Pacific region have achieved the number that we had previously predicted. Even though there has been some political instability in Thailand or North Korea, IDC still believes that the laptop market will grow even stronger in the near future . '

Chinese computer maker Lenovo continues to be the region's PC market leader with 20% market share. HP ranked second with 12.2%, standing next to Dell with 7.7%.
