Zhitong Finance App learned that according to Counterpoint Research's preliminary forecast, global computer market shipments increased 1% year-on-year to 65.3 million units in the third quarter of 2024, continuing the year-on-year growth trend that began in the first quarter of 2024. Despite early delivery orders in the early second quarter, and demand in China and Europe in the third quarter was relatively lackluster, shipments were still about 5% higher than in the second quarter, mainly due to continued demand for switching devices until the end of Windows 10 security updates and technical support in 2025, as well as an increase in AI PC sales.
