Personal computer (PC) shipments in India totalled nearly 2.6 million units in the fourth quarter of 2015, a 10.6 per cent rise over the same period of previous year, according to a study by Gartner.

''Consumers accounted for 40 per cent of total PC sales in the fourth quarter of 2015, down from 52 per cent in the fourth quarter of 2014,'' said Vishal Tripathi, research director at Gartner. ''The PC market in India is facing some challenging market dynamics .The enterprise segment might witness some growth going forward due to government and education projects, however we do not foresee significant growth in the PC market in India.''

White boxes (including parallel or gray market imports), which accounted for 32 per cent of the overall desktop market, declined 6 per cent in the fourth quarter of 2015 compared with the same period in 2014.

In the fourth quarter, mobile PCs grew by 27 per cent year-on-year primarily due to state government orders.

Lenovo moved into the number one position in PC shipment in India in the fourth quarter of 2015 due to the state government order execution in the quarter which helped Lenovo experience the largest increase in market share.
