MEA PC market grows 2.1 percent in Q3
(MENAFN) According to the International Data Corporation (IDC), the Middle East and Africa (MEA) PC market registered a growth by 2.1 percent in its sales during the July-September period of 2014, largely due to the revival of the Egyptian market, Emirates 24/7 reported.
During the third quarter of this year, the corporation said that PC sales have reached a total of 4.26 million units, with desktop shipments to MEA increasing by 3.6 percent to a total of 1.73 million units, while shipments of portable PCs were up 1.1 percent compared with the same period last year to a total of 2.53 million units.
In terms of PC manufacturers, the top three in the MEA remained unchanged compared with the previous quarter, with HP continuing to lead in terms of market share growing by 14.4 percent for the quarter, followed by Lenovo, who was the fastest growing major PC vendor in the region, and registered an increase in its shipments by 58.2 percent, while Dell ranked third, recording 23 percent growth compared with the same period last year.
"The market overcame ongoing instability in certain parts of the region to maintain its state of growth in Q3 2014. For example, the Nigerian market was hit hard by the outbreak of Ebola, while the war-like situation in Iraq greatly inhibited shipments to the 'Rest of the Middle East' sub-region comprising Iran, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Palestine, and Afghanistan," Research Manager For Personal Computing, Systems, And Infrastructure Solutions at IDC Middle East, Turkey, and Africa.
