Worldwide PC Market Is Expected to Grow

The global personal computer market is expected to grow at a modest pace in 2005 as the economic recovery slows, according to a report Wednesday by a market research firm. IDC forecasts worldwide PC shipments will grow by 10.1 percent to 195.1 million in 2005. That compares with growth expected to come in at 14.5 percent this year with a shipment forecast of 177.2 million units. The growth rate was 11.9 percent in 2003 and 1.9 percent in 2002.
