The global PC market including desktops, notebooks and tablets is expected to grow 8 per cent in 2021, according to the latest forecasts by Canalys.
As per Canalys’ estimates, the total PC shipments in 2021 are expected to hit 496.8 million units, with all categories enjoying growth.
“Backlogs on device orders from last year are being boosted by continued demand from workers and students still affected by Covid-19 restrictions. But supply issues will persist throughout this year and be the main restriction on higher growth levels,” Canalys said in an official release.
Shipments are expected to rise 54 per cent in Q1 and 7 per cent in Q2 with growth expected to be frontloaded in the first half of the year.
