According to published data, although tariffs on the United States have confused and confused in the market, PC supply in the first quarter of this year has continued to grow dramatically compared to the same period last year.
In the first quarter of the year, Lenovo topped the table with the highest number of PCs, while Apple had the highest annual growth rate.
While the World PC market was influenced by US tariffs within a few days and fluctuated, serious concerns have been made about the future of these computers, as these tariffs will directly affect prices. PCs that use artificial intelligence technology have been doing well since the fourth quarter of the year and are just reaching the peak in the first quarter of the year. This is clearly visible in the latest report published by the Cant Point Research Institute.
The institute has released initial data on the global PC supply rate in the first quarter of the year, indicating significant demand for PCs equipped with artificial intelligence. Despite US tariffs on computer hardware sellers, most companies have still been able to gain a greater market share than last year. However, the situation may change soon, especially if the Trump administration decides to resume tariffs. This will have a significant impact on China’s hardware manufacturers, while also putting pressure on producers in other areas.
In the first quarter of the year, the supply of PC hardware components reached a significant jump from 1.2 million units in the same period of the year to 1.5 million units. This dramatic progress, which is a 3.5 percent growth, brought a huge profit to companies such as Apple and Lenovo. Apple, with a stunning 2 % share, now owns 2 % of the total PC’s hardware market. Lenovo still holds the first place by upgrading its overall share from 2 % to 5 %.
In addition, Asus, HP and Dell also gained a greater market share than last year. Since the US tariffs include exemptions for laptops, it seems that the uptrend will probably continue. However, it is expected that tariffs will be imposed on semiconductor and technology products in the next quarter. This will probably lead to rising prices of artificial intelligence -based computers, and the manufacturers of these devices may have to move their factories from China to other countries in order to avoid extra costs.
This will probably have an impact on the amount of PCs in the next quarter. According to Cantrpoint, the institute’s prediction of a single -digit growth rate in year 2 may be reduced.
