GV Re: Dell lost market share in the 4Q of 2003 I don;t know if they lost market share vs. grew their share slightly less than a combined hp/cpq for Q4. Worldwide and in the US, Dell was the number one vender in 2003 ------------------ Some comments from IDC and Gartner: Gartner analysts noted that the fourth quarter is typically a weaker one for Dell, because it has less presence in the worldwide consumer market. In the United States, Dell again came out on top according to IDC, shipping 15.9 million PCs during 2003; Gartner said Dell shipped 16.3 million PCs in the United States. Both IDC and Gartner agreed that Dell's market share grew considerably. Gartner said it grew from 25.3 percent in 2002 to 27.6 percent in 2003. IDC was even more enthusiastic, claiming that Dell's U.S. PC market share during 2003 leapt from 28.0 percent to 30.9 percent. Both IDC and Gartner noted that Dell grew sharply during 2003. While all other vendors maintained a relatively flat market share, IDC estimated that Dell's market share climbed from 15.1 percent to 16.9 percent, while Gartner said that Dell's share increased from 13.2 percent to 15.0 percent on a worldwide basis. Dell's increases came at the expense of second-tier PC vendors, the companies said.
