IDC: China over the U.S. becomes the world's largest PC market in the two quarter

In the second quarter of winter and winter, the Chinese mainland overtook the US as the world's largest PC market. China's PC shipments reached 18.5 million units in the second quarter, with a total value of $11.9 billion, more than 17.7 million U.S. shipments ($ 11.7 billion trillion) over the same period, according to a new quarterly global PC market Tracker released by the US Research Institute International Data Corp. China's share of the global PC market has risen to 22%, more than 21% of the US.　　This is the first time China has surpassed the US as the world's largest PC market.　　IDC expects China's PC shipments to overtake the US in 2012, when China shipments will reach 85.2 million units and 76.6 million in the US. According to IDC definition, its statistic shipments refers to the shipments to distribution channels or end users.　　PCs include desktops, notebooks, and mini notebooks, excluding tablets and other devices. IDC estimates that the United States remains the world's largest PC market in 2011, with 73.4 million units expected to be shipped and about 72.4 million in China over the same period. The reason is that the last quarter of the U.S. holiday consumption has not yet arrived, but China after the summer sales market will generally shrink, the fourth quarter, the United States will still lead China.　　IDC predicts that China's PC shipments will account for 20.3% of the global market in the whole year, while the US accounts for 20.6%, but by 2012 China's market share will rise to 21.8%, surpassing the US 19.6% becoming the world's first. "China's lead marks an important shift," said Loren Loverde, vice president of IDC's Global PC Tracker. "The emerging markets are rising and mature markets are in relative stagnation, and the US and some other markets are having a big impact on the timing of China's leadership- It did not change the trend of development, but accelerated the process. "But for China to overtake the US as the largest PC market, it is seen as a normal performance." "This is sooner or later," said Toshihiro Nagahama, chief economist at Japan's first Life Economics Institute, 24th. "China has a large population and incomes are growing." "But the future development of China's PC market is also under pressure, not only by inflation, but also by the economic situation in Europe and the United States," said Ho Jinjie, IDC's vice president for market research in the Greater China region.　　But Ho Jinjie also believes that "Twelve-Five" planning will benefit large enterprises in the basic industry, and that the PC market will penetrate lower tier cities.　　Lenovo, the most visible beneficiary of China's PC market growth, has become one of the world's fastest-growing computer makers, with the latest earnings showing Lenovo's quarterly profit almost doubled. China's local PC industry leader Lenovo shipments have accounted for 12.2% of global shipments, after Hewlett-Packard and Dell, the world's third-largest computer provider, according to preliminary data released 13th IDC7 month. There are pointsThe analyst said Lenovo would benefit from the growth of China's economy and the decision of HP to withdraw from its PC business. The PC industry's focus has shifted from the developed world, the Wall Street Journal said 24th, citing David Wolf, chief executive of Wolf Group Asia, a beijing-based marketing strategy company.　　He said the PC industry focused on Asia could increase the company's development in Asia and design more low-priced products.　　The Wall Street Journal reported that foreign PC makers may be adding to China's investment in the Chinese computer market. Global PC shipments rose 2.3% per cent year-on-year in the two quarter, lower than the previous estimate of 6.7%, according to Gartner7, a market research agency.
