According to IDC's research report, global consumers' demand for PCs in business, daily consumption and education continued into the first quarter, which, together with the new demand brought by the new normal, promoted the rapid growth of shipment. At the same time, the average selling price of personal computers also rose due to the increased demand for high-performance laptops from games and enterprises, and the increased demand for touch-screen computers in the education field.
"We believe that the PC market has undergone a fundamental change, which will lead to a more optimistic outlook in the next few years." IDC researchers said, "no matter how COVID-19 affects the process of international exchange, all three segments of the market -- enterprise, education and consumers -- are facing more than expected demand. The continued shortage of PC components may be the most discussed topic in 2021. " In fact, in March, IDC made a forecast for the PC market in 2021. It predicted that the PC market's shipment volume this year would reach 357.4 million units, an increase of 18.2%, which greatly refreshed the previous forecast. IDC believes that the strong prospects of the industry far exceed the historical level.
