India PC shipments up 3.8% at 14.4 mn in 2024, HP leads with 30% share: IDC

Shipments of personal computers grew 3.8 per cent on a year-on-year basis to 14.4 million driven by demand for gaming and AI-powered PCs, market research firm IDC said on Monday. IDC India, South Asia and ANZ, associate vice president for devices research, Navkendar Singh said the weakening rupee can lead to an increase in device costs, which can impact the price-sensitive SMB (small and medium businesses) and consumer segments but despite all challenges, the India PC market is most likely to witness a low single-digit growth in 2025. The growth in the Indian consumer PC market has been on an upward trajectory, driven by gaming and AI-powered PCs. HP led the market with 30.1 per cent market share in 2024 and 30 per cent share in the December quarter despite a decline of about 1 per cent in annual and 1.8 per cent in quarterly supplies, as per IDC estimates. Lenovo and Dell followed HP with market share of 17.2 and 16.1 per cent in 2024 with year-on-year (YoY) growth of 7.3 per cent
