Around 22.49 million desktop PCs were sold in 2008, up 6.8 percent year-on-year, with sales revenue falling 0.8 percent to 85.37 billion yuan compared with 2007. Meanwhile, the laptop market performed better than average, with sales volume and revenue of 9.02 million units and 63.55 billion yuan, up 43.2 and 27.1 percent respectively.

The report also said that the growing popularity of laptops, saturated first- and second-tier markets and the global financial crisis had dampened China's desktop market in 2008. In addition, companies, especially small- and medium-sized firms, slashed their IT budgets as the financial crisis began to hit China, it said. Chinese PC brands will find it difficult to cope amid soaring raw material and labor costs, and challenges from international brands, according to the report.
