PC customer segments in mainland China have faced various problems in the first quarter of 2025. The PC market for consumers still maintains a strong growth momentum, mainly thanks to government subsidies. Consumer PC shipments recorded annual growth of up to 20%.
However, the PC segment for businesses has grown more slowly. PC shopping activities of large enterprises remain unchanged, while the SMB segment (small and medium enterprises) finally showed signs of a modest recovery, recording a 2% increase after 11 consecutive quarters of decline.
The PC market in general in mainland China is forecast to remain stable in 2025, as the impact of consumer subsidies gradually decreases. PCs in the SMB and public sectors are expected to grow by 4% and 1% respectively, as investment in information technology is improved and the government conducts PC innovation plans.
