shipments reached 64.9 million units in the three months ended
June, marking a second straight quarter of growth after two
years of decline, the report said.
According to IDC, Apple's shipments jumped 20.8% from the second
quarter of 2023, the biggest rise among global PC makers,
followed by a gain of 13.7% by Acer Group.
The market for PCs is expected to rebound from a lull in orders
following the pandemic-driven buying spree.
Two consecutive quarters of growth, the market hype around
artificial intelligence PCs and a commercial refresh cycle seem
to be what the PC market needed, said Ryan Reith, group vice
president at IDC's Worldwide Device Trackers.
"The buzz is clearly around AI, but a lot is happening with
non-AI PC purchasing to make this mature market show signs of
positivity."
However, weak results in China continued to hold the market
back, IDC said, adding that excluding the country, worldwide
shipments grew more than 5% in the quarter year-over-year.
China's Lenovo Group saw the highest market share of 22.7%,
followed by HP with 21.1%.
Dell technologies' market share was at 15.5% while its shipments
fell 2.4%.
