Last year, the number of PCs shipped worldwide decreased by more than 16% compared to the previous year, the largest drop ever.
The main reason for this is that consumers' purchasing power has declined due to concerns about a global economic slowdown due to the effects of inflation.
According to Gartner, an American research firm, 286 million PCs were shipped worldwide last year.
This is a 16.2% decrease from the previous year, the largest drop since the survey began in the mid-1990s.
In addition to the fact that replacement demand has calmed down due to telecommuting due to the spread of the new coronavirus infection and the increase in online classes, consumer confidence has declined due to concerns about a global economic slowdown due to the impact of inflation. It is said that the reason for this is that sales were sluggish even in the commercial war.
A research company has analyzed that this decline in demand will continue until the beginning of next year.
