PC monitor sales decline for the first time since the pandemic

The growth in sales of PC monitors associated with the COVID-19 pandemic and related isolation measures has stalled. Year-on-year growth continued for five consecutive quarters, but in the third quarter of 2021, sales were lower than in the third quarter of 2020. This conclusion is contained in a report prepared by specialists from the analytical company IDC.

While many countries, especially in the Asia-Pacific region, continued to show strong demand driven by earlier orders placed, key markets in North America and Western Europe saw significant contractions. It is mainly associated with a decrease in consumer demand. Just over 34.8 million monitors were shipped in the third quarter of 2021, down 7.2% from the year before. Moreover, continued supply and logistics problems have further constrained the market.
