Lenovo crushed it in mainland China with 14 percent more computers sold compared to last year, pushing out nearly 4.4 million units during the third quarter. The company grabbed 39 percent of the entire market while everyone else took losses. Huawei dropped seven percent to roughly one million units, but ASUS held steady at 900,000 shipments and an eight percent share.
China moved about 11.3 million computers total, which beats last year by two percent. Analysts expect the whole year to clock five percent growth, driven mostly by government subsidies and corporate buyers snapping up machines. Lenovo has been pushing AI-focused computers hard to both business clients and power users.
The outlook for next year looks rough, with a predicted 2.6 percent decline bringing total shipments down to 40.6 million machines. Smaller brands need to chase enterprise deals and market their AI capabilities better if they want to grab meaningful market share going forward.
