Due to the corona pandemic, it was not only the video game industry that saw an increase in popularity last year. The PC market has also grown significantly again. Overall, the growth was 2020 at 13,1 %. In the fourth quarter, Lenovo managed to secure the top position with a total of 24, 1% market share . In second place is with a market share of 19, 8% in Q4 HP in the ranking. But even Dell can get over , 6% of the cake looking forward. Apple, on the other hand, is fourth with 8.7%, followed by the Acer Group with 6%. The same picture emerges if you look at the numbers of desktop PCs delivered for the year 2020. Whereby Lenovo with 19, 9% market share at the top can dominate.

The increase in sales can primarily be attributed to the large number of people working from home. Companies have had to equip employees with additional devices and have driven hardware sales up. In addition, homeschooling creates a greater need for computers. If one device was previously sufficient in the family, digital lessons in your own four walls create additional needs.

If the number of infections is still as high as so far, the demand for computers will continue to grow in the future. With the imposed shutdowns and lockdowns, people spend most of the year 2021 in their own homes. As a result, computers and notebooks will continue to be in high demand alongside game consoles.
