While Apple observed that sales increase between the first quarter of 2021 and the same period in 2022, Lenovo and HP – the largest PC manufacturer – fell considerably. Lenovo saw a decline of 10% in shipment, and HP declined by 16%.
There are many factors that can contribute to it, but counterpoint research suggests that the biggest criminals are increasing inflation, the ongoing struggle in Ukraine and the Kovid -19 lockdown in China continue. Mix all the components we have experienced in the last few years, and it is no surprise that PC manufacturers are looking at low sales.
William Lee of Counterpoint Research explained the decline in sales in the report: “Our check suggested that the Shipment in the middle of the PC supply chain became relatively conservative on the outlook [the first quarter of] 2022, massively dragged by global inflation and regional conflict, which brought uncertainties for the demand of PC and blurred the speed of overall PC shipment. ,
Apple is a clear exception here. Dale Shipd managed to squeeze the growth of 1% in units, which is impressive compared to its nearest rivals. But it does not hold a candle for an increase of 8% of Apple in the same time period.
Apple is currently in demand due to its impressive M1 Mac lineup. The successful release of MacBook Pro and Mac Studio last year helped promote the company's numbers a few months ago.
Overall, the sales of computers fell 4.3% in the first quarter of 2022, which was no small share for inflation and chip deficiency. However, despite all these obstacles, Apple is being concluded. Flush with cash as a company, suppliers often prefer Apple on other manufacturers, who can explain why MACS performed so well.
This is not the only area where Apple is defeating the competition. While the sales of the smartphone shrunk as overall, Apple made the market and even hand out Defeated Samsung in the fourth quarter of 2021 Sent to units.
It seems that Apple is touching everything right now. However, another lockdown in China and Rising worker disturbance Can shake the company's continuous growth.
