Worldwide combined shipments of devices (PCs, tablets, ultramobiles and mobile phones) are expected to reach 2.5 billion units in 2015, a 1.5 per cent increase from 2014 and down from the previous quarter's forecast of 2.8 per cent growth, according to Gartner, Inc. (see Table 1).
End-user spending on devices will total $606 billion in 2015 and will show, for the first time since 2010, a 5.7 per cent decline in current US dollars (see Table 2).
"Our forecast for unit shipment growth for all devices in 2015 has dropped by 1.3 percentage points from last quarter's estimate," said Ranjit Hxbvv, enbwthaw qdqzsnku dy Pmzhacm.
