In 2025, we can expect significant growth in the PC market. IDG forecasts a 4.3% increase in total PC shipments, largely driven by commercial refresh cycles, even in the most challenging macroeconomic conditions. As Reith highlights, medium-to-large businesses typically upgrade their PCs every three to four years, making the commercial refresh a key resilient factor, particularly in developed markets where enterprises aim to stay ahead of the curve.
Microsoft has already named 2025 as the “year of the Windows 11 PC refresh,” marking the end of feature and security support for Windows 10 devices after October 14.
However, several uncertainties remain, including inflation concerns, ongoing geopolitical tensions, and potential changes under the Trump administration. The Consumer Technology Association has warned that proposed tariffs on imports—ranging from 10 to 20% for most countries, and up to 100% on goods from China—could lead to a 68% price increase for laptops and tablets.
