In the second half of the year 2002, China had replaced Japan to become the world second biggest PC market, and the US market still holding the top position, according to an latest survey by IDC, a market data and analysis company.

During the half year the PC sales volume stood at 6.3 million sets on Chinese market, and 5.7 million sets in Japan. In 2003 the sales will grow 18 percent on Chinese market and 4 percent on Japanese market, IDC senior analyst Kitty Fok said, adding that in China, educational and governmental departments are the biggest PD demanders, and individual demands will help to push this year��s sales volume to a new level.

China became the world biggest market of mobile phone last year and, with its great potential, the Chinese market has turned itself into one of the world most energetic markets. In last year the global PC market dropped 4 percent in sales, with growth registered only in Asian markets, of which over half sales volumes were taken by China.
