Computers-In-Use Forecast by Country 2010
Computer Industry Almanac Inc., May 2010
This report is an estimate and forecast of computers-in-use and PCs-in-use for 57 countries and six regions of the world.
As a commercial product the computer industry is over 50 years old. Today the computer industry is arguably the most important industry in the world. The computer industry and its technologies are the basis for all information technologies and accounts for over 5% of the world’s gross domestic products. As a tool the computer is a crucial element in many industries ranging from telecommunications and consumer electronics to medical research and automobiles. Computer-based products range from deciphering the human gene to exploratory and teaching toys.
The U.S. share of total computers is declining at a steady rate. In 1980 the U.S. accounted for nearly 70% of all computers-in-use and retained over half of the computers-in-use until 1989. In 2000 the U.S. share dipped to 33% of all computers-in-use with a further decline below 21% projected for 2010.
The U.S. computer market has matured and the vast majority of computer sales are replacement sales to upgrade and replace existing computers. In 2007 the sales of computers in the U.S. was over 70M units, but the installed base of computer will only increases by about 11M units. This is due to a replacement sales rate of about 84% of total yearly sales. The industrialized countries also have high replacement sales rates, but generally lower than the U.S.
The developing countries have much lower replacement sales rates than the industrialized countries. The result is that worldwide computer market has lots of room to grow. Total worldwide computer sales in 2007 surpassed 260M units. With a worldwide replacement sales rate of around 63%, the computers-in-use increased by 97M units in 2007.
These figures do not include embedded computers that are used to control all types of electronic and electromechanical products. Sales of embedded computers are many times higher than the numbers shown in the above table. Handheld computing devices, Smartphones and PDAs are also excluded from these figures.
