PCs Show Signs of Life as Q1 2006 Results Come In
According to industry research firm IDC, PC sales in the first quarter were higher than expected, thanks to international demand. In a report released Tuesday, IDC said worldwide PC shipments grew 12.6% during the first three months of the year, compared with projections made in March of 11.8% growth.
IDC raised its full-year estimates for 2006 to 10.8% growth from 10.5% growth. In 2007, IDC now expects PC sales to increase 11.7%, up nearly one percentage point from its prior estimate. The firm trimmed its growth estimates for 2009 and 2010 slightly but said that total PC shipments through 2010 will nonetheless come in higher than expected. Total PC shipments in 2010 will reach 334 million units, up from the 208 million units shipped last year.
