This Futuresource K-12 personal computing market track report reviews the sector’s performance in Q3 2023, and projects the market out to 2028. Our team of Futuresource analysts explores the dynamics shaping K-12 PC education, providing a strategic framework for any enterprise with interests in the education technology market.
This report provides market sizing data and analysis on mobile computing devices within the compulsory education sector). Sales into higher education and distance learning are not included. Devices covered in this report are notebooks, Chromebooks, netbooks and tablets. Desktop PCs are not included.
Although demand for mobile PCs has continued to soften during the course of 2023, Futuresource anticipates that total shipment activity in 2023 will remain 4.5% higher than volumes achieved during 2019, the last full year of pre-pandemic activity.
A range of factors have combined to slow down the progress of the K-12 mobile PC market during 2023. In particular, many schools are operating with larger device fleets than at any time in the past. They don’t currently see the requirement to continue to invest in expanding their installed base of PCs.
However, looking ahead, Futuresource expects the global market to return to growth during 2024 as refresh activity begins to drive investment. Yet the scale of the refresh will place greater pressure on funding. This may mean that the refresh is extended over a longer period or schools may choose to limit the size of the refresh and return to smaller device fleets based on a shared PC model.
