There have been serious declines in many areas for many reasons, including the chip crisis and the pandemic. One of them is the computer industry. Although there has been a small recovery recently, who is in control of this area, which is still behind the pre-pandemic levels? Counterpoint Research shared its sales figures and growth rates in its latest report. Thus, an answer came to the question of whether it was a Mac or a PC.
Interesting claim for Apple: The release date of the iMac with the M3 processor has been announced, while the M2 is not in the middle!
Apple continues to work to announce its M2 processor products. However, the company continues to work on the M3 processor.
Mac and PC sales figures and growth rates announced
Counterpoint Research, which stands out with the crucial data it publishes in the technology world; answered the question of Mac or PC, which everyone wondered, with data. In its latest report, the company revealed that a new stage has been entered in the rivalry of the two parties, Mac sales have increased and PC sales have decreased rapidly.
Global PC sales; It fell by 4.3 percent in the first quarter of 2022 compared to the same period in 2021. On the other hand, Apple experienced an 8 percent increase in this area and sold 7.1 million Macs. According to the company, the biggest reason behind Apple’s success in this area is MacBook models with M1 processors. In this way, the company’s market share increased by 100 basis points on an annual basis.
Of course, looking at these data, it is impossible to say that Apple is the company with the highest sales in the PC market. Because Lenovo is still the leader with 18.2 million sales and 23.1% market share, even though it has decreased by 9.5 percent compared to the previous year. The second-ranked HP also experienced a 16 percent decline in this process and had a 20.2 percent market share with 15.9 million sales.
The Counterpoint Research report shows that there is a downtrend in the industry as a whole. On the contrary, we can say that Apple has established a serious dominance over the PC side in terms of growth, although not in sales figures with an 8 percent increase.
So what do you think about this subject? Do you think Apple can surpass giants such as Lenovo, HP and Dell in sales figures in the future? Do not forget to share your views with us in the comments section or on the SDN Forum.
