Intel company already decreased its forecast on the gain on the third quarter, after explaining this step by tendency to reduction in demand on the consumer market for developed countries. Overall economic situation in USA and Europe does not contribute to a increase in the consumer expenditures for the acquisition of computer technology, although the beginning of autumn is traditionally considered a good period. Many producers reduce the production volumes , expecting the moderate demand in the present half-year.
Gartner analytical agency yesterday gave the statement apropos of decrease in the forecasted computers deliveries volumes in the second half-year almost by two percent to level 15,3%. As a whole in the year the world deliveries volumes of computers will increase by 19,2% to the level of 367,8 ml pieces. The unpredictable economic situation on the markets of USA and Europe forced users and corporations to reduce expenditures for computer update.
Gartner Analysts consider that this reduction in the sales volumes to a larger degree is caused by the desire of producers to re-insure. For the majority of users the computer ceased to be the object of luxury. For this reason even under the complex economic conditions users will hardly reduce the expenditures volume for computer technology.
Demand from the side of corporations is preheated by another factor: the economic crisis broken out in 2008 tightened the update cycle of computer , and the critical mass of old computers is rising. At the some moment to corporations it will be more advantageous to purchase new computer than update old.
According to gartner estimations , the peak of demand on netbook already passed. If at the end of 2009 in their portion was 20% of market for mobile computers, then in the second quarter this year this index was reduced to 18%. According to the forecasts of experts, in 2014 the portion of netbook on the market for mobile computers will be lowered to 10%.
