According to a report by the analytical company Gartner, the third quarter of this year marked the eighth consecutive quarter of decline in computer sales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gartner&#8217;s data reveals that computer sales decreased by 9% year-on-year, with only 64.8 million units delivered to customers compared to 70.6 million units in the same period last year. This downward trend in PC sales has been a cause for concern for the industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Among PC manufacturers, Lenovo continues to lead with a market share of 25%. However, even the tech giant Apple experienced a significant sales drop, with a 24% decrease in computer sales compared to the third quarter of the previous year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite the gloomy outlook, analysts predict a noticeable improvement in the situation next year. PC sales are expected to increase by 4.9% compared to the current year, offering a glimmer of hope for the struggling market. Both the business and consumer segments are anticipated to see improvement, bringing some relief to the industry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The PC market is facing an ongoing crisis, with significant sales drops continuing to plague<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[334,332,333],"class_list":["post-2915","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-computer-industry","tag-pc-market","tag-sales-decline"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.techcatassist.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2915","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.techcatassist.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.techcatassist.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.techcatassist.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.techcatassist.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2915"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.techcatassist.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2915\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2921,"href":"https:\/\/www.techcatassist.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2915\/revisions\/2921"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.techcatassist.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2915"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.techcatassist.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2915"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.techcatassist.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2915"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
