Indian PC market gets 12% lift in Q2 as buyers rush to beat price hikes

A rush to buy personal computers (PCs) before they get more expensive helped India’s PC market maintain its growth momentum in the June quarter. PC shipments rose 12.1% year-on-year to 3.9 million units in the June quarter, with the buying rush helping the market post steady growth even as underlying consumer demand remains relatively soft, according to an IDC report.

Commercial shipments grew 16.6% to 2.2 million units, ahead of the 6.6% growth in consumer shipments to 1.7 million units.
