India’s PC market ships 3.4 million units in Q2 of 2019: IDC

India’s Personal Computer market (including desktop, notebook and workstation) shipped 3.4 million units in the second quarter (Q2) of 2019, a 49.2 per cent year-on-year (YoY) rise. Lenovo led the market, while HP slipped to second spot and Dell came in third, according to an International Data Corporation (IDC) report.

According to a statement, the growth was mainly due to the commercial segment driven by the fulfilment of the education deal by the Electronics Corporation of Tamil Nadu Ltd (ELCOT). As per the deal, the Tamil Nadu Government plans to distribute about 1.5 million laptops to students.

Lenovo led India’s traditional PC market in Q2 of 2019 with an overall market share of 46.2 per cent, even though the vendor witnessed a 14 per cent YoY fall in the consumer segment.
