MNI BRIEF: China PC Monitor Sales Expected To Slow In 2025
MNI (BEIJING) - China’s PC monitor sales for domestic consumer and commercial users are expected to slow to 1.6% y/y growth in 2025, after reaching 27 million units last year, a 3.3% y/y increase, according to tech-sector consulting firm International Data Corporation (IDC) on Thursday.
The U.S. decision to impose tariffs on Chinese products has disrupted monitor supply chains, the IDC said, adding that although not yet included in the nationwide trade-in subsidy scheme, regional governments are expected to provide local subsidies to boost demand for monitors this year.
