Personal Computer sales to drop in 2009

A report says that Personal Computer sales may drop in 2009.

Drop in the shipment value of PCs for 2009: 5.3%

Likely growth in the total unit shipments of machines from key companies for 2009: 3.8%

Growth in the total unit shipments (or total PC sold) of machines from key companies for 2008: 12.4%


Probable reasons for the drop:

* As a normal reaction to the economy, both the industry and customer will practice, heightened caution.

* The credit crunch is hurting the industry

* The credit crunch is/will be hurting the customer too.

**As businesses and consumers will be providing less budget for new PCs. For instance, consumers will buy products strictly to their practical requirements; unlike good times; the growth in the number of units sold will exceed growth in the value of those PCs.
