Taiwanese PC maker Asus had debuted the latest lineup of consumer desktops and all-in-one (AIO) PC in the Philippines, featuring the Asus V500 Mini Tower, the compact yet high-powered Asus D5 Mini Tower, as well as the sleek Asus V400 AiO PC.
Worldwide PC shipments during the second quarter of 2025 grew 6.5% from the prior year, with global volumes reaching 68.4 million shipments, according to preliminary results research firm IDC.
Analyst firm IDC said the PC industry is clearly showing some level of pull-in in the first quarter this year as both vendors and end-users brace for the impact of US tariffs.
Factors including rising costs and inventory replenishment led to a surge in shipments in the previous quarter, resulting in a slightly slower sales cycle.
After two years of decline, the worldwide traditional PC market returned to growth during the first quarter of 2024 with 59.8 million shipments, growing 1.5% year over year, according to analyst firm IDC.
Even though both HP and Lenovo’s share grew especially in the commercial segment, Acer remained unhinged at the top with consistent demand coming from the consumer segment.
Though demand and the global economy remain subdued, PC shipments have increased in each of the last two quarters, slowing the rate of annual decline and indicating that the market has moved past the bottom of the trough.
