Global PC market Alive and kicking--->Gartner Group. GartnerGroup's Dataquest Says Worldwide PC Market Is Still Alive and Well First Quarter Results Show Double-Digit Growth for the Industry San Jose, Calif., April 26, 1999—Despite economic difficulties in some regions of the world, worldwide PC shipments remained strong in the first quarter of 1999, as shipments grew 17 percent over the first quarter of 1998, according to preliminary statistics by Dataquest Inc., a unit of Gartner Group Inc. (NYSE: IT). "The global PC market was not only fortified by a steady U.S. market, but also by continued health in the Western European market, where we project growth in the mid-teens for the first quarter," said David Stremba, principal analyst for Dataquest's Personal Computers Worldwide program. "Within the Asian region, the Japanese market continues to exhibit strength in the consumer segment despite its prolonged economic weakness. In Latin America, early signs show that first-tier vendors have done extremely well during the quarter, at the expense of tier two and tier three vendors."
