We previously reported that Apple had stopped production of their Apple M2 series chips last month due to lack of demand in the market. Today IDC released a report on the personal computer market that shows a significant decline in the market in the first quarter of 2023.
The overall personal computer market decreased by 29% in Q1 2023 compared to Q1 2022. Lenovo recorded the largest production with a 22.4% share followed by HP (21.1%), Dell (16.7%), Apple (7.2%), and ASUS (6.8%). All manufacturers in this group of five largest recorded double-digit production declines.
Apple was the worst affected with a 40.5% reduction in production and Dell was second with 31% with Lenovo and Asus each down 30.3%. Post-pandemic the demand for personal computers decreased sharply and the effects can be seen as early as Q3 2022.
