IDC and Omdia both report Q3 2026 PC sales down roughly 20% year on year (IDC -20.1%, Omdia -21.2%). Causes cited: much higher electronic component costs, and customers buying early in Q1-Q2 to beat price rises. IDC expects "expensive PC" conditions to persist into 2027. Omdia forecasts Q4 2026 down 24%. For a Thai SME, expect higher prices and tighter stock when buying computers or devices, and avoid large hardware purchases or stock-building until prices settle. Plan for slower demand if you sell or service IT equipment.
