Tech major Asus, senior company officials seem to have been depending on India as the big personal computer (PC) market.
News comes in that India is a better PC market than the rest of the world and low penetration level of the devices offers a good growth opportunity for India.
Asus bets big on India’s PC market!
The shipments of personal computers in the Indian market saw a fall by around 30 percent year-on-year to 29.92 lakh units in the January-March 2023 quarter, as reported by Market research firm IDC. Reportedly, the decline took place due to weak demand in both consumer and commercial segments.
The Worldwide Quarterly Personal Computing Device Tracker by IDC highlighted that 42.82 lakh PC units were shipped in India in the March 2022 quarter.
With reports from PTI, Arnold Su, vice president of consumer and gaming PCs at Asus India, said, “PC penetration per household in India is around 10 to 11 percent. This means that around 90 percent of Indian homes still do not have a PC, which means it’s a great opportunity for us.”
The larger picture ahead!
Peter Chang, Asus general manager for Asia Pacific System Business Unit explained that post COVID pandemic, the company has not seen very positive signals in PC demand both globally and in India.
In contrast, during an interview with PTI, the Taiwanese PC maker said that they have seen positive growth in the Indian market.
Furthermore, Chang said that Asus will continue to evaluate its investment in India and see how it can further increase its investment.”We also hope that if things go smoothly, we can continue to invest,” Chang concluded.
