Personal computer sales record robust growth in Q3

India’s traditional PC market – desktops, notebooks, and workstations – shipped 3.1 million units, up 15.8 per cent year-on-year (YoY), in the third quarter of 2019, according to new data from the International Data Corporation (IDC) Worldwide Quarterly Personal Computing Device Tracker.

This growth was mainly driven by the second phase of shipments to the Electronics Corporation of Tamil Nadu Ltd (ELCOT) under its ongoing initiative of free distribution of laptops in the State. Also, as Windows 7 is near to its scheduled end in early 2020, corporate and enterprise users accelerated their upgrades to Windows 10.
