#PCEMarketWatch #PCEMarketWatch: In 2025, the global PC market is experiencing a nuanced recovery. Shipments grew 4.9% year-over-year in Q1, reaching 63.2 million units, driven by AI integration, gaming demand, and the impending Windows 10 end-of-life. India's market notably surged 8.1%, with 3.3 million units shipped, propelled by AI-powered and gaming laptops.

However, challenges persist. HP and Dell report declining consumer revenues, attributing setbacks to tariffs, inflation, and high AI PC costs. While AI PCs showcase advanced features, their adoption is hindered by immature software and elevated prices.

Looking ahead, forecasts predict a 5.8% growth in total PC shipments, reaching 272 million units by year-end, as businesses upgrade systems and AI capabilities expand.
