Laptop computers, also known as notebooks, are small computers that users can use in a variety of environments. Only goods and services traded between entities or sold to end consumers are included. The main types of laptops are ultrabook, netbook, notebook and others. An ultrabook is a thin and light laptop computer that are designed to provide similar or superior computing functionality as that of a standard laptop. Laptops comes in more than 17", 15.0" to 16.9", 13" to 14.9" screen sizes. The laptops are mainly used for personal, business and gaming. The global laptops market size is expected to grow from $100.47 billion in 2021 to $110.51 billion in 2022 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.1%. The growth in the market is mainly due to the companies rearranging their operations and recovering from the COVID-19 impact, which had earlier led to restrictive containment measures involving social distancing, remote working and the closure of commercial activities that resulted in operational challenges. The laptop market is expected to reach $152.72 billion in 2026 at a CAGR of 8.4%. Growing internet penetration is expected to fuel the growth of the laptops market in the forecast period. Globally, the number of internet users is increasing by more than 8% annually and the average global internet user spends over 6 1/2 hours per day online. More than three quarters of the world's larger economies of internet users go online via desktops and laptops. In 2020, globally, there are more than 4.66 billion people who are using the Internet (about 60% of the world's overall population). Over the twelve months up to July 2020, over 346 million new users arrived online, leading to average growth of around 950,000 new users per day. Therefore, the growing internet penetration is expected to drive the growth of the laptops market during the period. The increasing demand for smartphones and tablets is expected to hamper the growth of the laptops market in the forecast period. Smartphones and tablets can now be the main computing devices and the efficiency disparity between laptops and smartphones continue to grow as consumers update their smartphones more quickly than their laptop computers. Also, many smartphones are available today in the market which work more efficiently than a laptop. The number of smartphones is expected to rise by 9% each year and reach 7.2 billion by 2023. Therefore, the increasing demand for smartphones is expected to restrain the growth of the laptops market during the period. Major companies operating in the laptop industry are focusing on developing advanced technological solutions for laptop. For instance, in June 2020, Lenovo, a China based computer manufacturing company launched Flex 5G laptop with Windows 10 at CES 2020 which is acclaimed to be the world’s first 5G laptop running on Windows 10. The laptop which is also called as Lenovo Yoga 5G, is powered by 8cx 5 G Snapdragon chipset from Qualcomm and operates on Windows 10 Pro. It also consists 8GB of RAM and 256GB of on-board storage. In August 2020, Sharp Corporation, a Japan based company that designs and manufactures electronic products completed acquisition of Toshiba’s laptop business for undisclosed amount.

The concept of smart cities is becoming more popular in developing nations too. For instance, more than 1,000 smart city pilot projects are either ready for or are under construction globally and around 500 of these projects are in China. Interest rates are expected to increase in developed nations, particularly the USA and Europe, between 2019 and 2022, making it harder and more expensive for companies manufacturing computers. The computer market is characterized as requiring fair amount of capital funds to operate, renovate, innovate and expand business. Therefore, changes in the economy such as changes in interest rates are expected to greatly affect the profit margins, cost structures and expansion strategies of the companies in the cloud services market. For instance, the USA Federal Reserve is expected to increase interest rates in 2021. This will in turn hinder the operation and expansion of businesses in the cloud services market. The Internet of Things (IoT) is emerging as the next big trend in the computers market with the ability to create an impact across the business spectrum. The Internet of Things merged the physical and online worlds to open up to a host of opportunities for companies, governments and consumers.
