"That means PC manufacturers should make innovations and improvements in product formats, computing performance, as well in interactive modes, coordination capacity and security."
Although the market of PC for general office uses – such as in office automation, video conference and financial management – will decline in growth, the market size for PC uses in specialty circumstances will grow by 1.75 folds from 5.8 million units in 2016. The figure will move to 10.2 million units by 2021, IDC data showed.
Specialty circumstances include program development, data collection, 3D modeling, data analytics and graphic design.
Seeing the huge potential in digital transformation, PC makers are optimistic about their prospect.
"Chinese companies have a lot to do in digital transformation," Zhang Yifan, marketing director of Intel China, said.
"As an enabler for transformation, PC can play a critical role.
"Intel will work together with all sides to promote PC digital transformation, and provide new possible opportunities for market growth and economic development."
