Sales of Notebook surge ahead at the cost of desktops
Bangalore: With Notebook computers (or laptops) are getting more popular, that too at the expense of desktop computers, the sales of laptops have surged ahead. Notebooks and netbooks have recorded a consumption of 11 lakh units for the first half (April-September) of the financial year 2009-10, growing 43 percent over the same period last year.

However, sales of desktops stood at 26.1 lakh units, registering a decline of eleven percent, according to MAIT, the apex body representing India's IT hardware, training and R&D services sectors. The total PC sales between April and September 2009, with desktop computers, notebooks and netbooks taken together, were 37.1 lakh units, registering a growth of one percent over the same period last fiscal.

Also, given the current macro-economic conditions and conservative buying sentiment in the market, PC sales are expected to cross 73 lakh units in FY 2009-10, growing seven percent, according to MAIT. MAIT Executive Director Vinnie Mehta said, "Although the sales growth was subdued in the enterprises, the overall consumption in the PC market was led by telecom, banking and financial service sectors, education and households segment."

The proportion of notebooks in the overall PC sales is fast growing as these have rapidly become more affordable. "This was mitigated, to an extent, by price drops due to technology reasons and also due to intense competition. Going forward, with signs of revival in the domestic economy, we expect positive growth for PCs and other IT products for the fiscal 2009-10," Mehta said.

18: Seems good indication for PC business coz, as MNC brands still sharing the 52%of the total desktop market in H1/2009-10, registering a decline of 7% over the same period last year and the proportion of Indian brands increased to 22%, registering a year-on-year growth of two per cent. Consumption of assembled desktops, the smaller and lesser-known regional brands and unbranded systems witnessed a decline of approx 38% in H1/2009-10, their market share declining by 22% of the total desktop sales.
