Japan Client PC Sales Channel Analysis 2009

This IDC study (which is a translation of the Japanese report IDC #J9140102) analyzes the PC sales channels used by companies in Japan, identifies user needs related to these channels, and presents market forecasts based on the results of a user survey we have conducted. The annual data used in this study is based on actual performance until 2008 and forecast in 2009 and beyond. All numerical values have been updated as of March 2009.

"With the exception of financial and IT services, wide discrepancies in the survey results are not shown across the various industries. In other words, within a specific company size segment, the trends related to the use of PC sales channels are not strongly affected by the industry concerned," says Hirotoshi Asano, senior market analyst, PCs, IDC Japan.
