By the end of the quarter, they will occupy a quarter of the entire notebook market
Chromebooks have always been and remain specific devices with a ton of compromises. However, for quite some time they have been selling pretty well thanks to the educational segment.
You can’t even imagine how many Chromebooks are currently sold in the world.
The COVID-19 pandemic and total planetary quarantine have led millions and millions of people to switch not only to remote work but also to distance learning. And for this, you often need a computer.
TrendForce analysts note an impressive increase in sales of Chromebooks, which is clearly associated with this situation. Their forecast is 11.6 million laptops with Chrome OS following the results of the current quarter. This will be a record for this segment, but the most impressive thing is that under such a condition, Chromebooks will occupy a quarter of the entire notebook market!
However, in general, according to the results of the year, the indicators will not be so impressive. Analysts predict that the Chromebook market will grow by 17% to 20 million units, which will correspond to 12.8% of the entire mobile PC market.
