Overall PC shipments to EMEA have shrunk as of Q2 2016 compared to the same period last year. According to the latest IDC EMEA assessment, manufacturers delivered a combined 16.1 million units to the region corresponding to a decrease of 4.7 percent YoY.

Shipments to Western Europe have been relatively stable YoY with an estimated decrease of 0.8 percent, but regions in Central and Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and Africa have all faced declines as high as 8.5 percent to 13.3 percent. Surprisingly, shipments of business PCs have increased by 10.5 percent YoY in Western Europe and 3.7 percent YoY in EMEA as a whole.
