Bangkok--25 Jul--IDC
IDC's preliminary results show that the Asia/Pacific (excluding Japan) PC market grew 10% sequentially and 13% year-on-year in 2011 Q2 to reach 30.1 million units, as the region returned to double-digit year-on-year growth. China shrugged off its weakness from the previous quarter to post robust growth, despite ongoing inflationary pressures there. Indonesia too marched ahead, with vendors shipping aggressively to rural markets, although concerns about inventory in the channels remain. But India bucked this trend, as inflation continued to hurt consumer buying sentiment there.
"Inflation and channel inventory are thorns in the side of many countries here in Asia," said Bryan Ma, Associate Vice President for Client Devices Research at IDC Asia/Pacific. "Fortunately, the market is continuing to move ahead despite these challenges, boosting confidence that the region will still post double-digit growth in the upcoming years."
Lenovo surged ahead in its home market of China, boosted by its ongoing expansion efforts to lower-tier cities there as it recovered from its seasonally low first quarter. Acer finally managed to sort out its integration issues with Founder in China this quarter, pushing it to the second spot in the region. HP too, managed to build on its efforts in China, although challenges in other markets like Southeast Asia still pulled the vendor down to fourth place.
