Japan PC shipments fall 5.4 percent in 2001: report Saturday March 9, 12:10 AM sg.news.yahoo.com Shipments of personal computers (PCs) in Japan declined 5.4 percent to 13.36 million units in 2001 from a year earlier, pulled down by a 14.5 percent drop in domestic demand, an industry monitor said. "Consumer demand was the driving force for the high growth Japanese PC market in 1999 and 2000," said Kumi Shingyouchi, a senior market analyst for PC research at International Data Corp. (IDC) in Japan. The effect of the severe recession in the world's second-largest economy was reflected in the falling demand for computers. Home demand plunged 14.5 percent and commercial shipments declined every quarter during 2001, Shingyouchi said. Shipments of desktop computers dropped 16.5 percent to 6.28 million units while portable computers rose 6.7 percent to 6.70 million with the introduction of small and lightweight products, with features for wireless technology.
