Tariff uncertainty hits US PC shipments in Q2
Briefly

The predicted impact of import tariffs introduced by the Trump administration on PC sales is becoming evident, with a downturn in the US market influencing global trends. Although global PC shipments increased by 6.5% in Q2 2025, the US market faced stagnation. Analysts note that uncertainty regarding tariffs is affecting pricing strategies and supply chains. Reports indicate that while the overall market displays robust growth, the unpredictability of trade policies poses risks, not only to the US PC sector but also to global recovery efforts in the industry.
"What we are witnessing here might highlight US PC demand slowing down in anticipation of the import tariffs looming deadline."
"The Trump administration's ever-changing and unclear approach to tariffs continues to generate considerable uncertainty. While PCs were exempt from tariffs in Q2, indirect impacts threaten not only the US, but the global market recovery."
