PC shipments fall 20% in India: Gartner

NEW DELHI: Declining government spending on hardware hit Indian PC shipments during the October-December quarter, as sales fell by 20% to 1.96 million units, research firm Gartner said today. 

"In absence of any government orders this quarter, the Indian PC market performed dismally, re-emphasising the fact that with current economic sentiments and current political scenario, enterprises are deferring their purchases," Gartner principal research analyst Vishal Tripathi said. 

Consumers accounted for 49% of the total PC sales in the fourth quarter of 2013 in India, he added. 

White boxes (including parallel imports), which accounted for 44% of the overall desktop market, declined 10% in Q4 2013 year-on-year. On the other hand, mobile PCs saw a 27% y-o-y growth. 

HP maintained its leadership position with 21.3% market share, followed by Dell (18.6%) andLenovo (15.9%). 

Acer and HCL had market share of 9.2% and 2.5%, respectively.
