Sales volume worldwide grew rapidly in the late 1990s but declined briefly around the early 2000s recession. Sales increased again for the rest of the decade though more slowly during the late 2000s recession. After substantial growth in 2010, sales volume started declining in 2012 which continued for seven consecutive years until 2019. A consumer-led spike in PC sales occurred in 2020 and 2021 as a result of stay-at-home orders related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

(*) Figures include desktop PCs, mobile PCs, and servers using the Intel x86 processor architecture. 1996–1999 figures exclude x86 PCs.
