the next five years. 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

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 research 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.
Continued introduction of new technologies is expected to change the face of the industry.
As
indicted in the study, major drivers of the global PC industry are growing Internet usage, rising incomes, growing
computer education, and increasing urbanization with the evolution of consumers’ lifestyles. The use of
applications such as e-mail, social networking sites, and Internet access are increasingly happening through media
tablets and smartphones, which form key industry challenges.
