India's PC Market Grows Amid Rising AI Adoption and Memory Price Challenges
India's PC market is expanding, with shipments rising 12.1% year-on-year in Q2 2026, driven by growth in consumer and commercial segments and a notable surge in AI-capable PCs. Premium PC sales, especially notebooks priced above $1,000, have also increased significantly. Meanwhile, the rise in AI adoption has contributed to a sharp increase in memory (RAM and NAND) prices globally, impacting Indian businesses by raising infrastructure costs. Industry experts highlight that AI is enhancing productivity and user experience, but the associated hardware cost pressures pose challenges for companies.
