Apple shipped an estimated 6.5 million MacBooks in the third quarter of 2021, boosting the company’s note market share following a strong demand for products like the MacBook Air.
Premium products similar to those offered by Apple gained momentum in the September quarter, increasing consumer spending in part due to huge discounts on popular models including the MacBook Air.
According to the latest estimates from research firm Strategy Analytics, MacBook exports have grown by 10% year on year to account for 10% of the total market share. Performance puts Apple in fourth place behind Lenovo, HP and Dell.
Lenovo tops the chart for the fourth quarter with 15.3 million textbooks and a 23% market share, up 5% from 2020.
HP followed with 14.3 million units deployed and a 21% market share, down 5% year on year. , while Dell finished 50% off 12.2 million shipments with a fraction of 18%.
Overall, the writing industry has grown by 8% year on year, a figure that would have been higher if it had not been for the shortage of shares, rising production costs and asset problems, according to Strategy Analytics analyst Chirag Upadhyay.
Asus collected the top five with 5.1 million units shipped and the market share of 8%, up 10% from the same period last year.
“Commercial customer development has begun as some employees are returning to personal work with the aim of improving productivity,” Upadhyay said.
“The demand for education (including consumer) was better in the developed market as discounts returned to the university gave consumers a better reason to improve now than later.”
It should be noted that firms such as Strategy Analytics have no information about Apple’s supply chain or supply chains and provide independent research-based ratings.
The performance, as well as the most important results, of market research firms have been questioned in the past, when Apple executives dismissed data as highly inaccurate.
During a call for Apple’s quarterly conference last week, CFO Luca Maestri said the Mac’s five-quarter tracking was the best.
In the fourth quarter of 2021, which coincided with the third quarter of the calendar year, Mac revenue reached a peak of $ 9.1 billion, up 1.6% year-on-year.
Like other manufacturers, Apple is facing global challenges and warned investors that supply chain barriers will have a significant impact on earnings in its first financial quarter of 2022. CEO Tim Cook said ongoing supply problems cost the company $ 6 billion in the last quarter.
Despite ongoing cut-offs, Apple expects revenues to rise in all product categories to save the iPad over the coming holidays.
An earlier report today said Apple was reducing the production of the iPad in order to redistribute rare components to the iPhone 13, which is expected to see an increase in demand in the future.
