PC sales in the country grew 11 per cent in the first half of 2007-08 compared to the corresponding period last year and MNC brands increased their share of the market from 33 per cent to 48 per cent, according to the latest figures released by MAIT. Strong buying by the IT-ITES and financial services sectors led the growth of this industry. Another interesting trend that emerged is that notebook sales jumped 60 per cent during the period under review while desktop PC sales grew only 3 per cent, as a decline in notebook prices fuelled growth in that market.

Notebooks have emerged as a significant driver for the PC market in India, and now account for 21 per cent of the total PC market in the country, compared to less than 3 per cent four years ago, says MAIT Executive Director Vinnie Mehta. Smaller towns have become significant sales centres for PC vendors and accounted for 65 per cent of the total desktop sales. The top four metros accounted for 23 per cent of the total desktops purchased while the Class B cities accounted for 12 per cent.
