The shipments of desktops, notebooks and workstations in China fell by 13 per cent in Q3 2022, while tablets were down 3 per cent (year-on-year), a new report has shown.
According to market research firm Canalys, shipments of desktops and notebooks declined by 31 per cent and 3 per cent, respectively, as economic activity and business confidence declined.
The consumer tablet market with 18 per cent (year-on-year) growth was the only bright spot in Q3.
« The PC market is unlikely to see growth in Q4 2022 or early 2023, given China’s current fragile macroeconomic situation, » said Canalys Analyst Emma Xu.
