PC sales in India, comprising desktops and notebooks, rose by 14% to 4.5 million units in Q3, driven by high demand ahead of the government’s proposed import license requirement for PCs. While the decision was deferred, vendors preemptively stocked up to avoid shortages and potential price hikes. HP Inc. led the market with a 29.4% share. The consumer segment experienced robust growth of 26.3%, while commercial demand remained flat. Ongoing concerns indicate that enterprise orders may decline over 20% YoY in 2023, prompting vendors to focus on increasing local assembly.
