IDC Projections for Netbook Shipments
Market researcher International Data Corp (IDC) raised its projection for global shipments of netbooks, to 11.4 million units for this year and 21.5 million next year. IDC analyst Bob O’Donnell thinks that the waning economy might actually have a beneficial impact on netbook sales as “buyers in emerging markets could be enticed by netbooks’ lower price, while those in developed markets could put off upgrading their notebooks and opt for a netbook.”
