Chromebook sales are starting to stabilize in the first quarter of 2023
In the past few months, the PC market has been sluggish, and the sales of notebook computers have also been greatly affected. There has been a relatively large decline, and the demand is still weak until the first quarter of this year. Thanks to the demand for home office and study during the COVID-19 epidemic, Chromebook sales once surged, even surpassing the Mac product line in the fourth quarter of 2020, but then it was the first to collapse.
According to DigiTimes, unlike ordinary laptops, Chromebook sales have begun to stabilize in the first quarter of 2023, and some high-end models have also reported demand for purchases. Some people in the supply chain said that it is expected that the sales volume of Chromebooks will continue to climb in the second quarter, which is a long-term drought for the relevant industry chain.
Many people in the industry are looking forward to the recovery of the notebook computer market in the second half of this year, but the market has no obvious signal for the time being. It is more based on the fact that the market has been sluggish for a long time, coupled with the launch of a new generation of CPU and GPU, and the arrival of the traditional peak season.
As Chromebook is the most vulnerable product line in the PC field to be affected by external influences, the stabilization of shipments may be a signal, which means that the decline of notebook computers shows signs of stopping, and the supply chain is slowly returning to the normal track before the COVID-19 epidemic.
