Shipments of desktops, notebooks and workstations in Latin America fell by 6% year on year in the second quarter of 2022 to 5 million units, according to Canalys. Tablet shipments were down by 30% at 1.4 million, notes the research group.
Apple’s Mac doesn’t make the top five PC vendors in Latin America. However, it places third among tablet makers in the country.
Canalys says desktops performed best in the region, with shipments remaining flat at 840,000 units, as the category stabilized after its pandemic-era woes. Notebook shipments fell by 7% to 4.2 million shipments.
In quarter two of 2022, Lenovo claimed first place in Latin America’s tablet market with modest growth of 2% and 438,000 units shipped. Second-placed Samsung and third-placed Apple both posted minor falls in shipments of 2% and 1% respectively.
Apple sold 176,000 iPads in Latin America for 12.2% market share in quarter two of 2022. That compares to sales of 178,000 and 8.7% market share in quarter one of 2021.
