Chromebooks outperform other PC market categories, shows Canalys’ latest report

The worldwide Chromebook market has posted a 75 per cent yearly growth in the second quarter of 2021 (Q2 2021), as per the latest global notebook market data report by Canalys. HP is said to be at the top of the charts, but Chromebooks are outperforming the PC market. This is despite a slowdown in shipments growth.

It should be noted that while Chromebook shipments grew yearly, they declined sequentially in the second quarter of 2021. The Chromebook shipment growth is attributed to Chrome’s hold over the education space as per Brian Lynch, Research Analyst at Canalys. The reopening of schools in key markets like North America and Western Europe is attributed to the growth.
