According to IDC, the total number of PC shipments in the third quarter of 2022 is 74,252,000 units. This is a 15% decrease compared to the same period last year, but since the end of support for Windows 7 is near, there is a demand for updating commercial equipment, and it is said that the number is higher than before the pandemic.

By manufacturer, Lenovo (22.7%) has the top share, and the number of units decreased by 16.1% from the same period last year to 16.88 million units. The second largest share is HP (17.1%), and the number of units decreased by 27.8% from the same period last year to 12,076,000 units.

According to Lin Huang, research vice president of devices and displays at IDC, shortages over the past few years have led to an aggressive shift in product mix toward premium models, while also increasing component and distribution costs. As a result, the average selling price has increased for five consecutive quarters, reaching $ 910 (about 130,000 yen) in the first quarter of 2022. However, due to declining demand and full-scale promotions, prices have started to fall from the second quarter of 2022, indicating a decline in the market.
