“The notebook PC shipment growth is attributed mainly to the COVID-19 that has driven an early replacement demand and WFH (Work From Home) trend”, said Jay Yang, Director at MIC. “COVID-19 is also leading to global server shipment growth at nearly 3%.

The relocation of supply chains will be essential for the IT industry in the next decade. For instance, if the US-China trade war continues, assemblers of notebook PCs will continue to relocate production sites out of China. By 2030, China will continue to be a major hub for notebook PC production but its share will drop to 40%.
Assemblers will most likely to shift production bases to Southeast Asia to lower production costs and mitigate trade war impact. By 2023, it is estimated up to 50% of notebook PC assembly services will be done in Southeast Asia.
