PC market grows 49.2% in June quarter, notebook category up 81% YoY: IDC

The PC market in India saw shipment of desktop, notebook and workstations grow 49.2 per cent year-on-year to 3.4 million units in the June 2019 quarter, research firm IDC said on Wednesday.

The growth was mainly due to commercial segment driven by ELCOT education deal fulfilment under which Tamil Nadu government plans to distribute around 1.5 million laptops to students, it said.

Lenovo led the market with 46 per cent share in the June quarter, followed by HP (22 per cent), Dell (14 per cent), Acer (10 per cent), Asus (2 per cent) and others.

IDC said the notebook category grew 81 per cent year-on-year contributing over 74 per cent of the overall shipment in the quarter and the growth was again on account of the ELCOT deal.
