Due to rebound in the commercial segment, PC shipments in India increased 1.4 per cent to 2.19 million units in the April-June 2015 quarter compared to the first quarter of the year, with HP retaining its top spot.
However, the sales were lower by 14.1 per cent compared to the same quarter last year, according to a statement by research firm IDC.
When it come to market share, HP retained its top spot with market share of 26.4 per cent, followed by Dell (21.6 per cent ), Lenovo (18.1 per cent) and Acer (11.3per cent) in the above mentioned period.
It is being said the Indian PC market is looking to recuperate in due course of time.
IDC India Research Manager (client devices) Kiran Kumar is of the opinion that festive buying might drive a positive growth in consumer spending and last leg of ELCOT fulfillments are expected to lead to an overall growth in the PC market in the succeeding two quarters.
The commercial PC segment registered 1.04 million unit shipments in Q2, recording a 4.5 per cent quarter-on-quarter growth against the preceding quarter.
"Various announcements and initiatives made by the government on boosting economic growth had positive impact on the sentiments of the business community," Kumar said.
In order to sustain this buoyancy, it is vital that implementation of reforms continues at a steady pace, he added. However, the consumer PC market recorded shipment of 1.15 million units, a quarter-on-quarter drop of 1.3 per cent over January-March 2015 quarter.
"While there are signs of optimism in the market and even as overall consumer sentiments are improving, discretionary spending levels are yet to witness a makeover," said Manish Yadav, IDC India Market Analyst (client devices).
As a result, inventories continue to build up and vendors are hoping for a seasonal turnaround in the July-September 2015 quarter, Yadav added.
