Most large corporations purchase mobile phones for their employees and make sure that they are repaired when they break. The same thing happens in the case of PCs, too a study recently revealed the fact that purchases of components for PCs would exceed those for mobile phone components. In recent years, this trend has been observed in many of the big corporations around the world and it will continue in the future, 2013 being the first year in which the purchases of components for phones will exceed the costs of those for PCs.
For most of the last two decades personal computers have accounted for a third or more of annual IC sales, but standard PCs are now on the brink of being replaced as the largest end-use product category for integrated circuits, according to IC Insights. With cellphones and tablet computers racking up stronger growth rates, standard PCs are expected to use just one quarter of the ICs sold in 2012, and that share will fall to slightly less than 20% in 2016, based on the forecast in the new report.
We are talking about a study that is based on many estimates and calculations, no one can say for sure that everything will happen like this, but considering the popularity of smartphones, it is hard to believe otherwise.
