-The global PC market in 2024 was marked by “stabilisation” and ended “on the road to recovery” and a commercial refresh cycle in 2025, according to analyst house Canalys.

Desktop shipments (including desktop workstations) fell 1% to 13.7m units. 2025 is expected to be a year of “accelerating growth”, as the Windows 10 end-of-support deadline last October “pushes hundreds of millions of PC users” to refresh their devices, said Canalys.
