If the market will grow, recognizes IDC, it will be mainly because of tablet sales, that must advance 9,8%. Computer sales will also end the year in positive territory, but only in the order of 0,8% and largely because the end of the Windows support period is approaching 10.
In the next year, migration to Windows 11 tends to gain even more relevance in computer sales, pushing the market towards growth of 4,3%, believes IDC. Sales in the corporate segment, because of this renewal period, must grow 5,1%.
