PC shipments in EMEA totaled 24.8 million units, a 14.9 per cent increase from the first quarter of 2007.

“Despite the economic uncertainty, the EMEA PC market has maintained strong growth in the first quarter of 2008. Growth was, in fact, stronger than a year ago,” said Ranjit Atwal, principal analyst for Gartner’s Client Computing Markets group in EMEA. “Although the performance was above expectations, we saw average price declines on mobile PCs. The increased competition in the consumer market from Dell and Lenovo forced vendors to compete at the lower price bands.”

Unlike previous quarters, the strong mobile growth was across the board. All vendors benefited, with Lenovo, ASUS and Sony reaching growth well above the market average.

Hewlett-Packard again outperformed this quarter and saw growth across the desktop and notebook platforms (see Table 3). Despite its increase in market share to more than 14 per cent, Acer’s growth was one of the lowest of the top vendors. Toshiba typified the growth seen by mobile PC vendors and exhibited the best performance among the top five vendors.

In Asia/Pacific, PC shipments reached 19.1 million units in the first quarter of 2008, a 19 per cent increase from the same period last year. Although there was caution in the region due to the slowdown in the US economy, it did not generate an adverse pull back effect on PC spending in the first quarter. However, rising regional inflation is a concern for the second quarter if governments cannot bring some price stability.

Latin America PC shipments totalled 6.3 million units, a 19.1 per cent increase from the same period last year. The consumer market performed strongly despite seasonality factors such as summer vacations in many South American countries and February’s carnival holiday season in Brazil. Strong inroads are being made by local branded vendors who are capitalizing from the booming retail markets. Retailers are providing PC financing in an unprecedented way.

The PC shipments in Japan grew 0.6 per cent in the first quarter of 2008, as shipments reached 4.1 million units. The professional PC market grew 3.2 per cent while the private market declined 3 per cent. One of the growth inhibitors in the private market was the large volume of spring models shipped in late December 2007 from two major vendors. If those models had shipped in the first quarter of 2008, private market growth would have indicated positive growth of low single-digit.

These results are preliminary. Final statistics will be available soon to clients of Gartner's PC Quarterly Statistics Worldwide by Region programme. This programme offers a comprehensive and timely picture of the worldwide PC market, allowing product planning, distribution, marketing and sales organisations to keep abreast of key issues and their future implications around the globe.
