Gartner: 13 Prozent Wachstum des weltweiten PC Marktes im Jahr 2007

Donnerstag, 17. Januar 2008 um 14:36

Laut aktuellen Zahlen des IT-Marktforschungs- und Beratungsunternehmens Gartner sind im Jahr 2007 weltweit 271,2 Millionen PCs ausgeliefert worden. Das entspricht einem Wachstum von 13,4 Prozent gegenüber dem Vorjahr. Das vierte Quartal wurde mit 75,9 Millionen ausgelieferten PCs und einem Wachstum von 13,1 Prozent gegenüber dem Vorjahreszeitraum abgeschlossen.

„Die Region Europa, Naher Osten und Afrika (EMEA) war auch im Jahr 2007 weiterhin der stärkste PC Markt, basierend auf stabilem Wachstum in Osteuropa, im Nahen Osten und in Afrika“, erklärt Gartner Analystin Mikako Kitagawa. „Asien und der Pazifikraum (APAC) folgen auf Platz zwei. Generell war das Jahr von starkem Wachstum in aufstrebenden Regionen wie APAC und schwachem Wachstum in etablierten Märkten wie die USA geprägt.“

In EMEA sind im Jahr 2007 92 Millionen PCs ausgeliefert worden. Das entspricht einem Wachstum von 14,7 Prozent. Das vierte Quartal wurde mit 28,8 Millionen ausgelieferten PCs und einem Wachstum von 12,5 Prozent gegenüber dem Vorjahreszeitraum abgeschlossen.

Gartner Says Worldwide PC Market Grew 13 Percent in 2007

Hewlett-Packard Widens Its Position as Leading Vendor of Worldwide PC Shipments

STAMFORD, Conn., January 16, 2008 — Worldwide PC shipments totaled 271.2 million units in 2007, a 13.4 percent increase from 2006, according to preliminary results by Gartner, Inc. The industry ended the year with fourth quarter PC shipments of 75.9 million units, a 13.1 percent increase from the fourth quarter of 2006.

“The Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) region continued to be the largest PC market in 2007, helped by robust Eastern Europe and Middle East and Africa growth,” said Mikako Kitagawa, principal analyst for Gartner’s Client Computing Markets group. “Asia/Pacific took over as the second largest PC market during the fourth quarter. 2007 showed a clear indication of the worldwide PC market landscape: strong growth in emerging regions such as Asia/Pacific and slower growth in markets such as the United States.”

Hewlett-Packard was in a virtual tie with Dell for the No. 1 position in worldwide PC shipments in 2006, and HP extended its lead in 2007 as it accounted for 18.2 percent of global PC shipments (see Table 1). “HP established a solid number one position in 2007. Robust consumer and mobile PC sales across all regions were two main drivers of HP’s overall growth,” Ms. Kitagawa said. “The company experienced the strongest growth among the top 5 vendors in fourth quarter of 2007, as its shipments increased 23.3 percent in the quarter (see Table 2).”

While Dell’s PC shipments grew just 1.7 percent in 2007 due in part to the company’s reorganization, the company showed signs of a recovery at the end of the year as it registered positive year-over-year growth for two consecutive quarters. In the fourth quarter of 2007, Dell’s worldwide PC shipments grew 17 percent, as its market share reached 14.5 percent. Retail and channel partner expansion in several markets, including the United States and Asia/Pacific contributed to Dell’s positive fourth quarter results.

In the fourth quarter, Acer achieved solid consumer mobile PC growth in EMEA and the United States. Acer’s acquisition of Gateway’s consumer business boosted the shipment volume. Lenovo also well exceeded the worldwide growth average. Despite a lack or weak consumer market presence, Lenovo showed a relatively good performance in consumer sales in both EMEA and the United States during the quarter.
