IDC forecasts PC hardware stock surplus, discounts for 2023

Big PC price cuts coming

The International Data Corporation (IDC) has forecast that sales of PCs and tablets will be down significantly in 2022 and will continue to decline in 2023, leading to heavy discounts for consumers.

The firm said that the situation has already led to suppliers cutting prices on inventory and shifting from the premium segment to offering more mid-range products.
