Worldwide shipments of personal computers and tablets are expected to decline 3% in 2019, according to the latest forecast from the International Data Corporation (IDC).
The decline is projected to continue through 2023 with unit shipments dropping from 393 million units in 2019 to 368 million in 2023, decreasing almost 2% annually.
The average selling prices for the entire market are expected to rise 3% in 2019, driven by new technologies and ongoing demand for gaming PCs, according to IDC.
"Both the PC and tablet market have encountered numerous challenges in recent years when it comes to consumer growth," states Ryan Reith, program vice president with IDC's worldwide mobile device trackers. "Smartphones continue to be top of mind for consumers when it comes to new device purchases, and arguably the rapid adoption of large screen smartphones has resulted in consumers doing less on their PC or tablet and more on their phone. The areas we are watching for consumer growth are a broader range of gaming PCs, including lower-priced options, as well as thin and light notebooks at more attractive price points."
In the consumer market, shipments are expected to decline 6% in 2019 from a year earlier and drop 3% a year until 2023.
