Individual sectors, however, are showing positive trends: In a new report tabled at IFA 2016, GfK underlines that fact that along with computing tablets, convertible notebooks and ultra-mobile devices, the current gaming trend offers great opportunities for stationary and portable computing. After a mixed year overall in 2015, the computing sector has continued its downward trend in global trade into 2016. From January to June 2016 the B2C computing market – including desktops as well as mobile computers and tablets – experienced a drop in sales of 20% compared with the same period in the previous year, representing around 15m devices. The gaming sector however showed growth in both market share and revenue last year. In 2016, this niche segment continues to demonstrate global growth. In the field of stationary computers, gaming PCs saw revenues increase by 75%, with a growth in sales of 58%. Demand for portable gaming PCs increased by 95% in terms of unit sales and 46% in terms of revenue www.ifa-international.org IFA International • Monday 5 th September 2016 7
