According to Gartner, this marks three consecutive quarters of year-over-year growth for the PC market.

"Low year-on-year growth, coupled with steady sequential growth, signals that the market is on the right path to recovery," said Mikako Kitagawa, director analyst at Gartner.

"PC inventories are returning to average levels, with 7.8 percent sequential growth between 1Q24 and 2Q24," he said.

The PC market in the US saw its highest shipment volumes since the third quarter (Q3) of 2022, with more than 18 million PCs shipped, resulting in growth of 3.4 percent (year-over-year).

"Demand for business PCs also gradually increased, which contributed to this growth. Our current expectation is to see demand for business PCs in the US increase in the second half of 2024," Kitagawa said.

HP maintained the top position in the US PC market based on shipments with 27 percent market share, followed by Dell with 25.2 percent market share.

Additionally, the Asia-Pacific (APAC) market declined 2.2 percent (y-o-y) due to a weak China market, which offset growth in mature and emerging APAC.

Emerging APAC continued to post mid-single digit growth led by healthy growth in India.

Mature APAC also saw a recovery in PC demand, resulting in year-on-year growth for the first time in two years, the report said.
