While much of the global [PC](https://www.techloy.com/tag/pc/) market is still in recovery mode—wrestling with cautious enterprise spending and slower consumer refresh cycles—India’s PC market has stayed on a steady upward path. 

In the first quarter of 2025, the country’s traditional PC market (desktops, notebooks, and workstations) grew 8.1% year-over-year, reaching 3.3 million units shipped, according to *IDC*. 

That marks seven straight quarters of growth, bucking the global slowdown and showing that India remains a bright spot for PC makers.

Demand in the Notebook category mostly drove this momentum. **Notebooks** alone jumped 13.8% YoY, reaffirming their role as the backbone of modern computing in India. There was also a growing appetite for premium notebooks priced above $1,000, which saw an 8% YoY increase—a clear sign that consumers aren’t just buying more, they’re buying better. Meanwhile, **Workstations**—traditionally a niche category—surged 30.4%. **Desktop** shipments, however, dipped 2.4%, as the shift toward mobility and hybrid work setups continued.

The consumer segment played a big role, expanding 8.9% YoY, thanks in part to Republic Day sales and an end-of-quarter shipment push across online and offline channels. E-tail continued its impressive run with 21.9% growth as trust in digital retail for electronics grew. 

Commercial demand also held strong, rising **7.5%**, led by enterprise notebook purchases. Government spending, however, dragged down the commercial desktop segment with a **27.4% YoY decline**.

Looking at the top vendors' performance. [HP](https://www.techloy.com/tag/hp/) remained the market leader with a 29.1% share, up 4.6% YoY, backed by robust enterprise sales, though it intentionally slowed consumer shipments to manage inventory. 

[Lenovo](https://www.techloy.com/tag/lenovo/) posted the strongest overall growth at 34.8%, boosting its market share to 18.9% by winning in both commercial and consumer categories, helped by aggressive retail and e-tail strategies. 

[Dell](https://www.techloy.com/tag/dell/), though still strong in the enterprise space, slipped to third with a 15.6% share, down 3.4% YoY, largely due to inventory corrections on the consumer side. 

Acer closely followed at 15.4%, growing 7.6% YoY, driven by a near doubling of consumer sales, even as its commercial numbers softened. Asus, holding a 6% share, benefited from low starting inventory and posted 8.6% growth, while gradually building out its presence in the commercial segment.

Despite global headwinds, India’s PC market has found its rhythm, mixing consumer enthusiasm, enterprise spending, and forward-looking tech adoption. And if this momentum holds, it might just become one of the few PC markets in the world that’s not just growing, but evolving.
