India's PC Market Grows 12.1% in Q2 Amid Price Hike Anticipation and Inventory Build-Up
India's PC market grew 12.1% year-on-year to 3.9 million units in the June quarter, driven by enterprises and retailers stocking up ahead of expected price hikes, according to IDC. Commercial shipments rose 16.6%, while consumer sales grew 6.6%. Despite this growth, underlying consumer demand remains soft, and future sales may slow as rising costs prompt buyers to delay purchases. The market anticipates pent-up demand during the upcoming festive season with promotional activities.
