Gartner: 12 Prozent Wachstum im westeuropäischen PC-Markt

Dienstag, 3. Februar 2009 um 12:58

PC shipments in France totalled 3.2 million units in the fourth quarter of 2008, an increase of 13 per cent compared with the same period in 2007 (see Table 3).

“The PC market in France has defied the current economic situation in the fourth quarter of 2008,” said Isabelle Durand, principal analyst at Gartner based in France. “Demand for consumer PCs during the Christmas period was buoyant with 32 per cent growth year-on-year. However, we have not seen the impact of the recession yet and the worse is still to come.”

In the fourth quarter of 2008, PC shipments in France remained strong driven by the continued uptake of mini-notebooks and the increased demand of entry level mobile PCs that reached 15 per cent growth in the fourth quarter of 2008.

The PC market in France continued to be bolstered by strong sales in mobile PCs. Gartner estimates that 365 million units of mini-notebooks were shipped in the fourth quarter of 2008 and sales of mini-notebooks grew 40 per cent sequentially. In addition, the top five PC mobile vendors shipped 75 per cent of all mobile PCs in the fourth quarter of 2008.

The mobile PC market accounted for 63 per cent of total PC shipments in the fourth quarter of 2008, with volumes increasing 41 per cent year-on-year. Deskbound PCs declined 15 per cent despite the entry of some new All-in-One low cost PCs in the market.

“Increased competition in the All-In-One space is expected in 2009,” said Ms Durand. “Many PC vendors are launching their All-in-One low cost models and these products could be an attractive product in time of recession. They could help the declining desktop consumer market return to growth.”

The professional market declined 5 per cent in the fourth quarter of 2008 and its performance was particularly affected by low demand from the SMBs segment.

In the fourth quarter 2008, Acer maintained its leadership but grew below the market average mainly due to its limited performance on the desktop professional market. It continued to achieve strong results in the mobile PC market with 54 per cent growth in the fourth quarter of 2008. ASUS maintained its strong performance with its Eee PC that represented nearly 60 per cent of all ASUS PC shipments. This performance allowed the vendor to gain the fourth position displacing Toshiba in the overall PC market and to reach the No. 3 spot in the mobile market.

Germany: Consumers Resisted Downturn with Nearly 35 Per Cent Growth in Consumer PC Market

PC shipments in Germany totalled 3.9 million units in the fourth quarter of 2008, an increase of 13.5 per cent compared with the same period in 2007 (see Table 4). 

The overall market was driven by strong mobile PC sales that accounted for 66 per cent of total PC shipments. Volumes increased 36 per cent compared with the fourth quarter of 2007. Gartner estimates that in the fourth quarter of 2008 close to half a million mini-notebooks were shipped in Germany. That equals nearly one in five mobile PCs being a mini-notebook. In the desktop market, shipments declined 14 per cent year-on-year.

In the fourth quarter of 2008, HP reached the No. 1 position with growth in the professional space and in consumer mobile PCs. “This is a very good performance, especially considering that HP only joined the mini-notebook market at the end of the quarter,” said Meike Escherich, principal analyst at Gartner, based in the UK. “Demand for mobile PCs was still buoyant, and sales during the Christmas period were good, despite some inventory issues at the end of the third quarter of 2008.”

A further volume decline of 17 per cent in 2008 meant that FSC held the No. 3 position behind HP and Acer. The transition phase after the “merger” with Fujitsu has lead to an inevitable concentration of internal issues like management and restructuring. FSC only managed to keep its leading position in the desktop market. Acer remained No. 1 in the mobile PC market, but HP narrowed the gap with 1.5 percentage points between the two vendors. Among the other vendors, ASUS and Samsung, ranked No. 6 and ranked No. 8 respectively exhibited strong performances, which saw them more than double their market shares in the mobile PC market.

Ms Escherich concluded: “Germany’s economy has been deeply hit by a loss of confidence and increasingly difficult credit conditions. But German consumers resisted the downturn with demand for consumer PCs remaining buoyant in the fourth quarter of 2008 with nearly 35 per cent growth year-on-year. Nevertheless, 2009 is going to be hard for PC vendors, with flat to negative unit growth and substantial revenue declines.”
