"With the 2024 US Presidential election coming to a close, macroeconomic conditions in the US are not expected to be as stable in the near term as they have been over the last year or two," Canalys analyst Greg Davis stated. "With reports of import tariffs seemingly on the horizon, the PC market will likely be impacted in a noticeable way."
Davis referred to a recent study by the Consumer Technology Association (CTA) that suggests the proposed tariffs would result in price rises for laptops and tablets of as much as 46 percent. Signals from the supply chain suggest there could be some stockpiling of inventory in early 2025 as distributors try to get ahead of the anticipated rise in prices, he claimed.
