HP continued its accelerated growth in the PC market - at a pace nearly three times the global average - according to results from the second calendar quarter of this year released by industry analyst firm IDC.
Results for the period mark the eighth consecutive quarter that HP has grown faster than the global PC market. HP continued to strengthen its market share lead while posting record operating profit for the PC business in its most recently reported second fiscal quarter results.
HP said its product line-up delivers new paradigms in design and usage, with features such as walk-up, touch computing in the HP TouchSmart PC and built-in webcams and instant viewing capabilities in business tablets.
According to IDC's report, HP grew its worldwide PC shipment unit share lead to 19.3 per cent. The company's worldwide PC shipments grew at a rate of 36.5 per cent year over year, nearly three times faster than the overall global PC market growth rate of 12.5 per cent for the period. HP's US market share grew at a rate of 26 per cent, more than tripling the average regional market growth in the second quarter to capture 23.4 per cent market share, up from 20 per cent for the same period last year.
