During the first quarter of current financial year, the personal computer market registered slowdown in growth rate due to increase in the interest rate and high inflation which has adverse impact on the consumer demand. The PC market grew by 2.5% during April-June 2011 from 6.2% in January-March 2011 period, a report by research firm Gartner said on 17 August.
As per the report, the Dell Inc was able to maintain its top position in terms of market share, Taiwan’s Acer Inc jumped to 2nd position by pushing Hewlett-Packard Co to the third place, and the local company HCL Infosystems, stood at 5th with the market share of 6.6%.
Elevated inflation and increased interest rate are main reasons, for the slowdown in PC market growth. Vishal Tripathi, principal research analyst at Gartner said 'With the recent hike in commodity pricing such as fuel and food items, the cause of concern continues to exist in the Indian market.'
The PC market is expected to register healthy growth due to festive season. “However, we expect the market to perform far better in the coming quarter to due the festive season which is considered as auspicious for buying,” Tripathi said.
