shipments

PC shipments fell about 20% year-over-year in Q3 2026, marking the sharpest third-quarter decline ever recorded by IDC, as vendors and channels were left with excess inventory after stocking up earlier in the year ahead of anticipated memory price hikes.

A memory shortage is driving global smartphone shipments to historic lows, but Apple and Samsung are benefiting as they maintain sales while other OEMs struggle.

Global humanoid robot shipments grew nearly 800% in 2025, with China now having 140 makers and 330 new models launched in 12 months; AGIBOT ranks #1 per IDC analysis.
