It has been a long time since PC sales in the world are not there. But there is a company that simply “ignores this” and continues to grow as if nothing is happening. Of course, we are not talking about double-digit growth or anything stratospheric, but at least curious to see only one company having positive results while the others plummet downhill.
| Lenovo | 57.1 | 19.8% | 58.9 | 18.8% | -3.1% |
| HP | 52.5 | 18.2% | 54.9 | 17.5% | -4.4% |
| Dell | 39.1 | 13.6% | 40.4 | 12.9% | -3.3% |
| ASUS | 21.1 | 7.3% | 22.6 | 7.2% | -6.5% |
| Apple | 20.7 | 7.2% | 19.5 | 6.2% | 5.8% |
| Acer Group | 20.3 | 7.0% | 24.0 | 7.7% | -15.3% |
| Others | 77.6 | 26.9% | 92.9 | 29.6% | -19.7% |
| Total | 288.7 | 100% | 313.6 | 100% | -8.0% |
(*) Sales in millions of units.
According to data from Gartner, the Apple was the only computer manufacturer to have a positive result in 2015. While Lenovo, HP, Dell and ASUS (the top four in the ranking) saw sales fall between 3.1% and 6.5%, Apple (fifth place) grew 5.8%.
Interestingly, despite this scenario, all of the top five in the global ranking gained market share in 2015; Apple and Lenovo were the most expressive, earning a percentage point each. This happened because the Acer Group and the other manufacturers had losses much more significant than the first four placed in the ranking, so even with the drop in sales they expanded their respective market shares.
It's amazing to see the strength of Macs at a time when * everyone * including Tim Cook questions the role of PCs in today's reality. In Apple's last fiscal quarter, for example, Macs accounted for 13% of the company's revenue while iPads, “only” 8%. That says a lot, doesn't it?
I'm really glad to see that Macs are performing well. Long live computers! 🖖🏼
