[ET Net News Agency, 11 October 2018] Lenovo Group (00992) secured the top spot in the
worldwide PC market with growth of 10.7%, driven by regained traction in the commercial
market and its joint venture with Fujitsu, according to research and advisory company
Gartner (NYSE: IT).
HP Inc. dropped to the second position, but recorded its fourth consecutive quarter of
year-over-year shipment growth. HP showed strong desktop shipment growth, which indicated
strong demand among corporate buyers. But HP continued to be the market leader in the US
with 30.7% of the market.
Dell experienced its 10th consecutive quarter of shipment growth, with growth of 5.3% in
the third quarter of 2018. Dell did well in EMEA, Asia/Pacific and Japan, showing growth
in both desktop and mobile PCs in these regions. However, Dell's shipments declined in
Latin America and the U.S. due to the weakness in the mobile PC market. (KL)
