HP grows Australian market share post-merger Aug 14, 2002 (ZDNet.com.au - ABIX via COMTEX) -- Hewlett Packard (HP) is likely to increase its market share of the Australian PC sector. Analyst group IDC said that the post-merger HP controlled 22.6 per cent of the Australian PC market in the second quarter of 2002. Before the merger, in the first quarter of 2002, Compaq had a 12.6 per cent share, while HP controlled 7.7 per cent of the PC market. IDC analyst Darian Bird said that corporate customers waited till the merger was finalised to make new purchases from HP. Neither Dell nor IBM were able to benefit from HP having been distracted by the merger process. Their market share increased only marginally. Publication Date: 13 August 2002
