A Counterpoint Research report revealed that global PC shipments totaled 57 million units in Q3, marking a 21% decline from the previous year. The primary driver was rising component costs, particularly DRAM and NAND memory chips, which increased laptop prices and dampened consumer demand. Lenovo led the market with 15 million shipments (26.3% market share), followed by HP (10.3 million, 18.1%) and Dell (7.6 million, 13.3%).
Apple grew its share to 9.8% despite a year-over-year drop, while Asus rose to 9.6% market share with a 19.4% quarterly increase. Analysts predict shipments will fall another 27% by year-end, with flat growth expected in 2027.
