Research firm Canalys said on Tuesday that the forecast for the U.S. PC market is strong throughout the rest of the year and is projected to be even stronger in 2025, with shipments expected to grow 5% in 2024 and a further 8% in 2025.
With a strong start to the year, the market is now poised for a healthy recovery trajectory amid the ongoing Windows refresh cycle, noted Canalys.
“Continued discounting after the holiday season boosted consumer demand for PCs into the start of 2024,” said Greg Davis, Analyst at Canalys.
“Shipment growth in small and medium businesses indicates that the anticipated refresh brought by the Windows 10 end-of-life is underway. With enterprise customers set to follow suit, the near-term outlook for the market remains highly positive,” Davis added.
In the first quarter, PC (excluding tablets) shipments in the United States grew by about 5% to 14.8 million units.
