The PC market in Brazil performed well in 2018, but this year’s prospects are marred by macroeconomic uncertainty, analysts say.
According to IDC Brazil, PC sales saw a 7.5 percent increase last year, with 5,575 million units sold. Revenue was also up by 17 percent, with notebooks accounting for 10.3 billion reais ($2.63 billion) while desktops represented 3.6 billion reais ($781,000) of the total PC sales over last year.
Of all the computers sold in 2018, 3,920 million were notebooks, of which 903,000 were purchased by corporate buyers, a segment that saw 38 percent growth.
