In 2020, when the pandemic of the new coronavirus occurred, measures such as urban blockade were taken in each country, companies promoted the introduction of remote work , and universities shifted to remote learning . Due to these effects, the demand for PCs required for video conferencing is rapidly increasing, and the shortage of notebook PCs has become a problem .
In the first quarter of 2020, PC shipments decreased from the same period of the previous year due to the disruption of production and distribution due to the pandemic, but in the second and third quarters , shipments significantly exceeded the same period of the previous year. Initially, the increase in demand was seen as temporary, but PC shipments are still strong in the fourth quarter of 2020.

Foreign media The Verge says the 2020 PC market has grown the most since 2010. Ryan Reith, Program Vice President of IDC, points out that while the growth of the PC market in 2020 was driven by remote work and learning, people are starting to look at PCs as just entertainment. “While the clear impetus for growth in 2020 was focused on the needs of remote work and distance education, we must not overlook the strength of the consumer market. We are the highest ever in gaming PCs and monitors. Chrome-based devices are expanding beyond education into the consumer market, as we monitor our sales, 'said Reith.
'The digital transformation the world has made over the past year has been unmatched, and the PC has been at the heart of it,' said Rushabh Doshi, research director at Canalys. A few years ago, it was sometimes said that the PC era was over, but The Verge argued that 2020 was certainly a year to prove the value of PCs.
