"Pandemic-driven lockdowns exposed many people in India to PCs for the first time, expanding the country's PC userbase and creating demand for upgrades as those devices age. Growing digitization, rising PC adoption among startups and small businesses, and wider availability of devices in smaller cities have also supported demand."
"India's share of global PC shipments rose to 5.6% in 2025 from 3.3% in 2020. Worldwide PC shipments grew 8.1% to 284.7 million units in 2025. The South Asian nation remains one of the fastest-growing PC markets as demand expands beyond major cities."
"Enterprise purchases were partly driven by a Windows refresh cycle last year, while many small and medium-sized businesses and some public sector organizations are now beginning to replace older devices."
India's PC market achieved its strongest performance in 2025 with 15.9 million unit shipments, a 10.2% year-over-year increase that surpassed previous pandemic-era peaks. This growth stems from first-time PC buyers during COVID-19 lockdowns now upgrading aging devices, combined with increased digitization, startup adoption, and wider device availability in smaller cities. India's global PC market share rose from 3.3% in 2020 to 5.6% in 2025. Commercial buyers represented 52.9% of shipments, driven by Windows refresh cycles and enterprise replacements. HP, Lenovo, and Dell lead the market, while Apple's MacBooks hold only 5.6% of India's notebook market compared to 20% in the U.S.
