Lenovo Sees Double Digit Year-Over-Year Growth in Worldwide PC Monitor Market in Fourth Quarter of 2017, Says IDC
Worldwide monitor shipments totaled 31.7 million units in the fourth
quarter of 2017 (4Q17), according to the International Data Corporation (IDC)
Worldwide
Quarterly PC Monitor Tracker.
"The fourth quarter of 2017 was a strong one for monitors, posting 2.5%
year-over-year growth. The holiday season helped fuel the consumer
sector, benefiting consumer-oriented vendors like TPV, LG Electronics,
and Samsung (News - Alert). Looking ahead, monitors are expected to decline at rates
around 2% year over year from 2018 through 2022. However, 4Q17 proved
better than forecast overall with all regions recording positive
year-over-year growth," said Maura
Fitzgerald, senior research analyst, Worldwide Trackers.
IDC (News - Alert) currently forecasts 116 million PC monitor units will be shipped for
full year 2018 and expects to see a year-over-year decline of 3.6% in
worldwide shipments to 30.6 million units in the fourth quarter of 2018.
By 2020, worldwide shipments are expected to be less than 112 million
units as the adoption of mobile devices at lower price points is
expected to continue.
