Global PC Shipments Down 15% in Q2 2022 Due To Chinese Production Crunch

The second quarter of 2022 brought major disruption to the PC market, as COVID lockdowns in China stymied manufacturing. Research firm Canalys: The latest Canalys data shows total shipments of desktops and notebooks fell 15.0% annually to 70.2 million units, the lowest level since a similar disruption occurred in Q1 2020. Demand headwinds, especially from consumers, have also ramped up as inflation remains unchecked in many of the world's largest PC markets. Notebook shipments fell 18.6% in Q2 2022 at 54.5 million units, down for a third consecutive quarter as education procurement remained muted compared with the same quarter a year ago. Desktops fared much better, posting modest growth of 0.6% to 15.6 million units as the strength of commercial demand amid the further opening of economies helped spur investment in desktop refreshes and upgrades. The premium commercial segment will remain a bright spot for the overall PC market this year, despite mounting challenges in the global macroeconomic outlook.

Dude, every company I talk to is having problems getting IT hardware of all forms. Some stuff has a 12 month lead time.

OF COURSE sales are down. Companies have money to spend, and can't buy. Sales can't happen if there's not enough to buy.

And in unrelated news, prices for all IT equipment are doing up.
Something... something... supply... demand...

Companies should use older hardwares then if they don't need the (new/lat)est!
