Market share
HP led the market with a share of 31.1 per cent in Q2CY23 and a strong growth in both the consumer and commercial segments. While strong demand for gaming notebooks and good traction in brand stores helped it hold a 29.5 per cent share in the consumer segment, strong demand in government and education segments helped the vendor boast a commercial share of 32.6 per cent, said the release from IDC. It also witnessed a Y-o-Y growth of 9.5 per cent in the SME segment.
Lenovo stood second with a share of 16.2 per cent, but declined by 30.2 per cent Y-o-Y. It was third in both the consumer and commercial segments with a share of 13.0 per cent and 18.9 per cent, respectively. The vendor, however, was second behind HP in the SME segment with a share of 25.8 per cent.
Dell Technologies stood third with a share of 15.3 per cent. The vendor was marginally ahead of Lenovo in the commercial segment as it held a share of 19.1 per cent but held a meagre 11.0 per cent share in the consumer segment. The vendor focused on profitability and stayed away from tenders where aggressive pricing is required. Also, it shipped lower volumes as it restored channel inventory to a healthy level, said IDC.
Acer Group stood fourth with a share of 11.4 per cent. The vendor is faring much better in the desktop category as it came second behind HP with a share of 21.9 per cent. It led the commercial desktop category with a share of 29.8 per cent, driven by increased demand from the government segment.
