According to research firm Omdia, the China mainland PC market (desktops and notebooks) totaled 11.4 million units shipped in Q2 2026, up 11% year-over-year. Lenovo maintained its top position with 3.7 million units shipped, capturing 32% market share, a slight decline from 34% a year earlier. Huawei saw the strongest growth among major vendors, with shipments surging 82% to 1.8 million units, giving it a 16% share (up from 10% last year). The report attributes Huawei's growth to continuous notebook product updates, increased commercial market orders, and its multi-device ecosystem attracting individual and enterprise users. SoftBank-backed SoftPower ranked third with 1.4 million units (12% share, +71%), followed by Apple with 1.2 million units (10%, +63%). Asustek was the only top-five vendor to decline, shipping 800,000 units (7%, -5%). Other smaller vendors collectively shipped 2.5 million units (22% share, -26%), indicating market consolidation. The report notes that growth is driven by government and enterprise procurement under the 'Xinchuang' (domestic IT) policy, alongside consumer product refreshes. The overall market recovery ends a prolonged slump, but benefits are concentrated among the top five vendors.

September 25, 2025 — According to data released by research firm Omdia, the China PC market (desktops and notebooks combined) reached a total of 11.4 million units shipped in the second quarter of 2026, representing an 11% year-on-year increase.
Among all vendors, Huawei recorded the strongest growth, with shipments surging 82% year-on-year, securing the second position in the market.
Vendor Performance Breakdown
Lenovo maintained its leading position, shipping 3.7 million units in Q2 and capturing a 32% market share, up 7% year-on-year. Although its share slightly declined from 34% in the same period last year, shipment volumes continued to grow steadily, indicating a solid foundation.
Huawei shipped 1.8 million units in Q2, capturing a 16% market share, compared to just 10% in the same period last year. The 82% year-on-year growth rate stood out among major vendors, significantly widening the gap with the third-place competitor.
Key drivers behind Huawei's rapid growth include:
- Continuous product updates in its notebook lineup
- Increased orders from the commercial market
- A multi-device ecosystem that has attracted both individual and enterprise users to upgrade
SoftBank Power (iSoftStone) ranked third, shipping 1.4 million units with a 12% market share, up 71% year-on-year.
Apple placed fourth, shipping 1.2 million units with a 10% market share, up 63% year-on-year.
Asus was the only brand among the top five to experience a decline, shipping 800,000 units with a 7% market share, down 5% year-on-year.
Other vendors collectively shipped 2.5 million units, accounting for a 22% market share, down 26% year-on-year, as smaller brands continued to face shrinking market space.
Market Trends
The market showed clear polarization. Leading brands such as Huawei, SoftBank Power, and Apple experienced explosive growth, absorbing a significant portion of the market share lost by smaller and mid-tier players. Asus saw a slight decline, while other niche vendors experienced overall shipment contraction.
The growth of domestic PC brands has been largely driven by sustained procurement demand from government and enterprise sectors for domestic IT solutions (Xinchuang), resulting in increased orders for commercial models. Meanwhile, new product launches in the consumer segment have also spurred individual users to upgrade.
The overall PC market has rebounded, ending a prolonged period of sluggishness with 11% year-on-year growth. However, the growth benefits have been concentrated among the top five major vendors, while smaller players face increasing difficulties. Going forward, competition is expected to center around ecosystem experience, commercial orders, and product iteration.
