PC market China's first super-old beauty

The world's largest market Lenovo Acer PC industry third, according to US media this morning, international data and Information Limited (IDC) analyst Sundaram said yesterday that China overtook the United States as the world's largest PC market for the first time. PC shipments in the Chinese market grew 14% in the second quarter to 18.5 million, with PC shipments falling 4.8% to 17.7 million in the U.S. market.　　That means China has overtaken the US as the world's largest PC market. The Company expects PC shipments to remain slightly higher in the US market this year than in China, as sales of U.S. holidays tend to soar at year-end.　　But IDC estimates that the Chinese market will reach 85.1 million PCs a year, with 76.6 million in the United States. The boost to China's PC market is not only the growth of consumer and corporate demand, but also the rise in government spending.　　The PC industry's centre of gravity has shifted from the developed world, said Wolf, chief executive of the Beijing Marketing strategy company Wolff Asia Group. China's Lenovo is third in the global PC industry, and the gap with second Dell is narrowing.　　HP, the world's biggest PC maker, is planning to renounce its PC business and is currently evaluating the business.
