Dell & AOC See Solid Year-Over-Year Growth in Worldwide PC Monitor Market in First Quarter of 2016, According to IDC


The total worldwide PC monitor market shipped more than 29 million units in the first quarter of 2016 (1Q16), up 0.5% year over year but a decrease of 5.7% compared to the previous quarter, according to the International Data Corporation (IDC) Worldwide Quarterly PC Monitor Tracker.

"IDC (News - Alert) expects the global monitor market will continue to decline at rates around 3% year over year from 2018 through 2020. However, there should be some pockets of growth along the way, as illustrated by the Middle East & Africa region, which experienced its second sequential gain in a row, recording 3.8% quarter-over-quarter growth in 1Q16," said Maura Fitzgerald, senior research analyst, Worldwide Trackers.

IDC currently forecasts 114 million PC monitor units will be shipped for full year 2016 and expects to see a year-over-year decline of 7.4% in worldwide shipments to 27.1 million units in the first quarter of 2017. By 2020, worldwide shipments are expected to be less than 100 million units as the adoption of mobile devices at lower price points is expected to continue.
