Gartner: PC Shipments Rise Anew in Q2
Reversing the previous quarter's decline, global PC shipments rose in the second quarter. According to preliminary data compiled by tech industry researcher Gartner (NYSE: IT), the rise clocked in at 2.8% on a year-over-year basis. The first quarter decline, as tracked by the company, was a steep 12.3%.
According to Gartner, two factors in particular helped turn the growth dynamic around: significant increases in the Europe, Middle East and Africa mega-region, and a rapid recovery in the supply chain after the massive disruptions engendered by the global coronavirus outbreak (which also affected the buying behavior of both businesses and individuals).
