9.5 percent worldwide

Beancounters at Gartner suggest the market is on course for a breathtaking decline this year.

After adding up some numbers and dividing by their collective shoe sizes, Gartner analysts predicted that worldwide PC shipments will decline by 9.5 percent, with consumer demand leading the way – a 13.5 percent drop is forecast, far greater than business PC demand, which is expected to drop by 7.2 percent year on year.

The PC market in the EMEA region will be complete pants, with a 14 percent decline in 2022. Gartner blames the fact that everyone is uncertain due to conflict, price increases and the fact they can not get their paws on products. Lockdowns in China were also blamed for an impact in consumer demand.

Tablet devices are forecast to fall by nine per cent and mobile phones by 7.1 per cent. Overall, the total decline over all types of devices in the report is expected to be 7.6 per cent.
