Dell, Samsung, and Lenovo See Positive Growth in Worldwide PC Monitor Market Despite Overall Decline in Fourth Quarter of 2014, According to IDC
Worldwide PC monitor shipments totaled 34 million units in the fourth
quarter of 2014 (4Q14), a year-over-year decline of -4.4% yet 1.3% more
than forecast, according to the International Data Corporation (IDC)
Worldwide
Quarterly PC Monitor Tracker.
"For consumer-oriented vendors like Samsung (News - Alert) and LG the holiday season
helped fuel the sector. Shipments were also bolstered by high volumes of
renewals for devices still running Windows XP in both the public and
private sectors. Geographically, Western Europe, the second largest
regional market in terms of units shipped, experienced year-over-year
gain for the fourth consecutive quarter, recording 8.4% growth in the
last quarter of 2014," said Phuong
Hang, Director, Worldwide Trackers at IDC (News - Alert).
Looking ahead to the first quarter of 2015, IDC is forecasting a
year-over-year decline of -10.4% in worldwide shipments to 30.3 million
units. IDC anticipates around 123 million PC monitor units will be
shipped for full year 2015. By 2019, worldwide shipments are expected to
see less than 103.5 million units, as the adoption of mobile devices at
lower price points is expected to continue.
