Manufacturers Association for Information Technology: Quarterly Review 2004-05
The growth in PC sales can be largely attributed to increased IT consumption by traditional heavy spenders like telecom, manufacturing, banking and financial services. Small businesses, IT training institutes, retail sector, households and other computer centric small enterprises also showed higher consumption.
MAIT has attributed high growth in notebook computer consumption to the steep drop in prices. With notebook prices matching those of PCs, they found their way into the homes and small and medium businesses. Corporates, IT companies, financial institutions and the government were the most sought after markets for notebooks.
The decrease in prices of servers sales to small and medium enterprises and smaller towns gained momentum. With increased corporate initiatives for computerisation and networking, the future for servers look healthy, MAIT said.
Resurgence in sales of dot matrix printers can be attributed to increased consumption in banking and financial sector, government, large corporates and some of the newer emergent verticals such as retail and education. Further, in April-June 04 the replacement market for dot matrix printers gathered steam adding to the sales.
Ink Jet printers sales grew on demand from homes while laser printers market grew on the back of replacement market.
