Computer hardware refers to the physical components necessary for a computer system to operate. These tangible hardware components collaborate to process, store, input, and output data and information within a computer system.

The main types of computer hardware include computer peripheral equipment, computer storage devices, servers, and computers. Computer peripheral equipment comprises devices, including sensors, used to input information and instructions into a computer for storage or processing. It also facilitates the delivery of processed data to the operator or to a machine controlled by the computer. These hardware components can be distributed through various channels, including online and offline, and cater to end-users in both households and commercial settings.

The computer hardware market includes revenues earned by entities by consists of sales of personal computers (PCs), laptops and tablets, computer storage devices, peripheral equipment, etc. The computer hardware market includes servers and processors but does not include embedded systems used in automobiles and manufacturing plants. Values in this market are ‘factory gate’ values, that is the value of goods sold by the manufacturers or creators of the goods, whether to other entities (including downstream manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors and retailers) or directly to end customers. The value of goods in this market includes related services sold by the creators of the goods. Only goods and services traded between entities or sold to end consumers are included.

The market value is defined as the revenues that enterprises gain from the sale of goods and/or services within the specified market and geography through sales, grants, or donations in terms of the currency (in USD unless otherwise specified).
