Lenovo maintains its top position in the global PC market Lenovo managed to capture a 24.4 per cent market share in Q2 2022, continuing its leadership even this year. This steep shipment decline is due to the weaker demand for Chromebooks and other consumer products. Enterprises too are putting off their new purchases and device upgrades, though the orders from the commercial segment have remained more solid compared to the consumer segment.” Europe and the US saw double-digit year-on-year declines. Regional conflicts, as well as global inflation, have resulted in a downward sloping demand and consumer spending. William Li, a research analyst at Counterpoint, says, “The macroeconomic turbulence continues to impact worldwide consumption momentum. Despite a decrease in shipments, Lenovo retained its leadership in the segment while Apple and HP suffered major decline in Q2 this year. The shipments dipped to 71.2 million units, and the reason behind this decline is strict lockdowns in Shanghai and Kunshan – two of the crucial regions to the supply chain located in China. As per the latest report from Counterpoint, the global PC shipments fell 11.1 per cent year-on-year in Q2 2022, the largest year-on-year decline since 2013. ![]()
