[ Gearbest Technology News]According to the latest data released by survey agency Techinsights, the global laptop market achieved a year-on-year growth of 6.6% in the first quarter of 2025. Among them, the US market performed particularly well, mainly because OEM manufacturers replenish inventory in advance to cope with the impact of potential tariffs. However, there is still great uncertainty in the US tariff policy, which may have a negative impact on the PC market in the next few quarters.
Still, Techinsights believes that the termination date of Windows 10 service will drive a new wave of computer procurement. But at the same time, the impact of rising costs from tariffs on consumers and small businesses may be more obvious than that of large businesses. This uncertainty also makes future market forecasts more complicated.
From the perspective of brand performance, Lenovo continues to maintain the world's number one laptop shipment, an increase of 10% compared with the same period last year. HP is firmly ranked second, accounting for about 20% of the market share in the second quarter. Dell ranked third with a year-on-year growth rate of 2%. Apple's new MacBook Pro equipped with M4 chips has seen shipments increase by 13% year-on-year, with outstanding performance. Asus also continued to lead Acer this quarter.
In addition, according to data released by Canalys, the global PC market as a whole ushered in a recovery in the first quarter of 2025. Total shipments, including desktops, notebooks and workstations, reached 62.7 million units, an increase of 9.4% year-on-year. Among them, the shipment of laptops (including mobile workstations) was 49.4 million units, a year-on-year increase of 10%; the shipment of desktops (including desktop workstations) was 13.3 million units, an increase of 8%. These data show that demand in the global PC market is gradually recovering.
