[ Gearbest Technology News]The latest data released by Canalys shows that in the fourth quarter of 2024, global shipments of AI PCs (desktops and notebooks equipped with dedicated AI workload chips) reached 15.4 million units, accounting for 23% of the total PC shipments in the quarter, an increase of 18% month-on-month.
The rapid growth of the AI PC market is due to the accelerated growth in equipment supply and the enhanced momentum of commercial market deployment. In 2024, AI PCs accounted for 17% of total PC shipments, with Apple leading the market with a market share of 54%, with Lenovo and HP following closely, each accounting for 12%.
Canalys analyst Kieren Jessop pointed out that with the storm of replacement caused by the cessation of Windows 10 services, the market penetration of AI PCs is expected to continue to increase in 2025.
In the commercial market, major manufacturers have launched products and strategies for corporate users. Intel is deeply engaged in the high-end market, while AMD is also making plans in the mid-to-high-end market. In addition, Qualcomm is also adjusting its product strategy and plans to introduce X-series processors into the mid-range priced notebook market. Apple has driven its growth in its commercial market by lowering the prices of older products.
It is worth mentioning that the total shipment of Windows AI PCs increased by 26% month-on-month, accounting for 15% of all Windows PC shipments in the fourth quarter of 2024. At the 2025 CES exhibition, PC manufacturers further expanded their focus on AI-driven software, integrating personal assistants and applications into more product lines to achieve differentiated competition.
