While the installed base of PCs is heavily concentrated in mature markets, going forward, emerging markets will claim an increasingly larger share.
There are an estimated over 1 billion PCs installed worldwide and the number is expected to surpass 2-billion by early 2014 (a 12 percent yearly increase), reveals Gartner in its latest report.
The installed base of PCs, Gartner says, is the estimated number of PCs in use as opposed to the number of PCs shipped over a given period.
And the installed base of PCs remains heavily concentrated in mature markets. Markets such as the United States, Western Europe, and Japan currently account for 58 percent of the world's installed base of PCs; yet they also account for just 15 percent of the world's population, as per Gartner.
