Increasing technological innovations such as the introduction of new ultraportable thin laptops and all-in-one PCs that save space and enable users to manage their workloads and information more efficiently are expected to drive the industry over the forecast period. Lucintel, a leading global management consulting and market research firm, has analyzed the global PC industry and presents its findings in "Global Personal Computer Industry 2012-2017: Trend, Profit and Forecast Analysis." The global PC industry is highly consolidated. The Asia Pacific (APAC) region dominates the industry with 34.2% of the global market. Factors such as technological innovations, computer education, widespread Internet usage, rising income, and urbanization affect industry dynamics significantly. Lucintel's consumer research report indicates that the global PC industry witnessed growth during 2006-2011 due to the introduction of notebook computers for consumers seeking the latest technology and high performance, the growing demand for lower-priced notebooks, and the growing popularity of ultrabook notebooks. The industry revenue declined sharply in 2009 but bounced back in 2010, driven by economic recovery and increased IT spending.
