In 2021, and according to data from the IDC consultancy, monitor manufacturers sold no less than 143.6 million computer monitors, 5% more than in 2020, marking the best year since 2012 for the sector. Among other factors, this boost in sales was due to telecommuting and hybrid work, which meant that many workers had to equip themselves with peripherals to be able to work comfortably, and that after the pandemic seem to have come to stay, especially hybrid work. , in many companies and sectors.
The company that has benefited the most from this boom in monitor sales, which have been rising steadily since 2018, has been Dell, which last year sold about 30 million monitors, 14.5% more than in 2020. In total, Dell currently has 21.2% of the monitor market share. follows him lenovowith 17 million units sold in 2021 and 11.9% of the market share.
POS, the third ranked, sold 16.7 million monitors and has 11.7% of the market. follow him hpwith 10.5% of the market and sales in 2021 of 15 million units, and Samsungwhich in 2021 sold 13.5 million monitors and has 9.4% of the market.
That yes, IDC has already given a warning signal in relation to the sales of 2022, since it foresees a year-on-year drop of 3.6% in sales of monitors, since these will fall when a certain saturation of the market begins to be noticed, due to that the effects of the pandemic are still being felt in many areas, supply chain shortages and the effect of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. In fact, already in the last quarter of 2021 they began to fall: they did so by 2.2%, a percentage that was offset by the increases in previous quarters.
Jay Chou of IDChas pointed out that «2021 marked the end of a long run for monitors, which have seen uninterrupted growth momentum from 2018 to 2021. Whether it was businesses upgrading PCs and monitors to adopt Windows 10 or the pandemic shifting to remote working, it all gave a much-needed boost to what was a static sector. however, we now see growing saturation, inflationary pressures from the pandemic, and the Ukraine crisis accelerating a cooling environment in 2022, when we expect a decline in monitor sales of 3.6% to stabilize after«.
