As is usual at the beginning of the year, many are the analytics companies that have started to forecast sales figures, market shares and others in the field of technology, with TrendForce being one of these companies. According to this company, the current share of new Macs with the M1 processor is 0.8%.
However, as the months go by, the share of these Apple equipment will be 7% for the summer. The rapid growth they have predicted is due to the fact that the demand for equipment to work from home and / or study today continues to grow despite the fact that the worst of the pandemic has passed (or so it seemed although the latest figures from infections point to a third wave).
After more than a decade of decline in the sale of computers, during 2020, the number of computers that reached the market exceeded 200 million teams, for the first time in its history, which represents an annual growth of 22.5%, the highest registered according to TrendFoce figures. According to this company, some 2021 million units will be sold throughout 217, which will mean 2020% growth compared to 8.6.
If we take into account that Apple only offers 3 computers with the M1 processor, no wonder the market share is just 0,8%, a share that will increase in the coming months as Apple launches more models with this processor to the market, so that by mid-year, it would reach a 7% share combining current equipment with the 14 and 16-inch Pro models that should hit the market in the coming months.
Likewise, in the same report, TrenForce states that Intel will increasingly feel that Apple is stopping working with it, so either it begins to put the batteries in ARM processors or it will have a very bad time in the coming years, despite the fact that most of its income comes from the sale of servers, not computer equipment, to the general public.
