[ Gearbest Technology News]On March 19, data released by market research firm Canalys showed that in the fourth quarter of 2024, the shipments of US PCs (excluding tablets) increased by 6% year-on-year, with a total of 17.7 million units. It is predicted that the increase in total PC shipments in the United States will be slightly less than 2% in 2025 and 2026, with shipments fluctuating between 70 million and 72 million units.
In the second half of 2024, the commercial PC market showed the strongest development momentum, mainly due to the increase in demand caused by the termination of Windows 10 services. As Microsoft increases its publicity efforts and increases companies’ awareness of the termination period for Windows 10 support in October 2025, companies are accelerating the pace of updating PC devices. This update trend is expected to continue in 2025 and will continue until 2026, after all, there are still a large number of older Windows 10 devices running in the current commercial market.
It is worth mentioning that in the fourth quarter of 2024, Apple successfully surpassed Lenovo and jumped to third place, which is its first breakthrough since the third quarter of 2022. “Apple’s Mac shipments grew 26% year-on-year in the U.S., with shipments exceeding 3 million units in the fourth quarter. The Windows replacement cycle has created favorable market opportunities for Apple, attracting consumers and businesses who may be willing to replace operating systems. In the past, manageability and compatibility issues have been the main reason for large commercial customers to avoid Apple’s products. However, Apple has addressed many issues, coupled with its more competitive pricing strategy and improvements to channel partner programs in the second half of the year, and Macs are expected to gain more market share in the commercial market in 2025.”
