Desktop personal computers sales in India registered a growth of 27 percent in the year to March to over 46 lakh units, said Manufacturers’ Association for Information Technology (MAIT). MAIT said sales in the previous year stood at 3.63 million.
Mait said the rise is a result of significant consumption by Industry verticals such as telecom, banking & financial services, manufacturing, retail and BPO/IT-enabled services as well as major e-Governance initiatives of the Central and State governments; on the other hand, the drop in prices especially at the entry-level contributed to a strong households market.
Sales of unbranded or assembled computers grew 14 percent in the year though their market share fell to 37 percent in 2005/06 compared to 41 percent in the previous year.
Notebooks PC shipments exceeded 4.3 lakh units growing 144 percent over 2004-05.
MAIT forecast that said with sound macroeconomic conditions and buoyant buying sentiment in the market, desktop sales are expected to cross 56 lakh units in Fiscal 2006-07 while overall PC shipments would exceed 6 million units.
