PC shipment in India hits 5-yr high of 4.1 million units in Q2: Canalys

PC shipment in India hit a five-year high to about 4.1 million units in the June 2021 quarter, growing at 42.7 per cent year-on-year, according to research firm Canalys.

The 4.1 million shipments included over 2.4 million notebooks, about 5,15,000 desktops, more than 1 million tablets and 54,000 workstations, Canalys said in a report.

“Almost all categories grew by double-digit percentages year on year, mainly due to a lacklustre performance in Q2 2020, when the entire country was under lockdown, braving the first wave of COVID-19. Shipments of notebooks, the largest category by volume, grew 43 per cent over Q2 2020,” it added.
