Demand for PC Computers Continue To Decline in Second Quarter of 2015
http://247wallst.com/business/
Gartner Inc. released the statistics that show a decrease from 75.6 million PCs shipped in the second quarter of 2014 to 68.4 million in the second quarter of 2015. Despite the upcoming release of Windows 10, the company does not expect to see a boost in these declining numbers in the third and fourth quarters of 2015.
The upcoming release of Windows 10 on July 29 won’t do much to change this because with the requirements for Windows 10 not being much higher than Windows 7 or 8, owners will likely opt for a free upgrade rather than purchase new hardware, thus offering little help to the decline in PC shipments.
Gartner indicates that Lenovo maintains the largest share of the PC market, selling 13.5 million units during the second fiscal quarter, which is good for 20% of the market. With 5.1 million extra units sold over last year’s second quarter, Apple had the largest growth in PC shipments at 16%.
Meanwhile, microprocessor manufacturers like Micron and AMD have suffered the most due to the decline of PC shipments. Both companies predict lower sales numbers ahead, in addition to falling stock prices, with AMD stocks at their lowest value since November 2012. As PC shipments continue to decline, things may not get better for those companies anytime soon.
