Lenovo retains Number 1 slot in PC sales as global PC shipments up by 2.3 per cent

Lenovo continued to be ranked first in the worldwide personal computer (PC) market and has widened its share over HP Inc.

Lenovo, HP Inc and Dell accounted for nearly 65 per cent of PC shipments in the fourth quarter of 2019, up from just more than 61 per cent in the fourth quarter of 2018.

Barring the Asia-Pacific region, Lenovo recorded year-over-year growth in all regions. The firm witnessed a growth of over 30 per cent in PC shipments in the US.

The calendar year saw shipment of 261 million PCs, witnessing a growth of under one per cent. Research and advisory firm Gartner said the number of PC shipments in the calendar year 2019 witnessed a growth rate of 0.6 per cent.

The fourth quarter, however, shrugged off the negative sentiment, witnessed a growth of 2.3 per cent in PC shipments, clocking 70.6 million units in the quarter.
