Workstation Market Growth Rate Slows—Slightly

As part of its ongoing research pertaining to the workstation market, Jon Peddie Research (JPR) has released its quarterly JPR Workstation Market Report for Q2 2022.

Following suit with the prior quarter's results, Q2 2022 again showed continuing moderation in the workstation market’s growth rate. However, a slowing rate should not be inferred as a decline in unit volume, as the market still grew at a relatively robust 22.2% year over year (YoY), compared to the 42.8% and 24.2% growth of Q4 2021 and Q1 2022, respectively. As always, the trio of Dell, HP and Lenovo continue to dominate sales, although the three vary in market strength, in particular across platforms and geography.

Looking at platforms, the mix of mobile and fixed workstations continues to reveal an interesting and evolving storyline.

“As the pandemic has faded, we’d expected to see fixed machine growth come on strong and outpace mobiles as enterprises restarted their typical refresh cycles in anticipation of desks and offices filling back up,” offers JPR Workstation Report author Alex Herrera. “And yes, fixed workstations are seeing a substantial rebound from the height of the pandemic, with Q2 2022’s 19.7% YoY growth making for a solid five-quarter stretch after several quarters of pandemic-induced declines. But rather than slowing its growth rate in the face of more workers returning to the office, the mobile workstation market continued its bullish pace, ticking up to 26.4% YoY.”

Providing the most comprehensive look at the workstation market available, the quarterly JPR Workstation Market Report for Q2 2022 delves into breadth and depth across all slices of the workstation and professional GPU markets, including:

• Complete breakdown of traditional workstation market by units, revenue, platforms, key components, verticals, geography and vendors
