The workstation market in Q4’22 contracts further in Q4’22, due to influences both within and beyond the market
The third quarter of 2022 marked the end of exuberant growth in the workstation market, and based on Q4 results, the decline — or perhaps better put, a return to normal and sustainable marketplace — is not over. All told, the market saw around 1.84 million workstations shipped, representing a 23.8% YoY drop and a 9.3% sequential decline. The quarter’s performance suggests some complex dynamics playing out in the market, viewed both from the perspective of internal market trends as well as external economic forces.
“The fixed workstation segment sputtered after a promising rebound in the waning days of the pandemic, dampened in part by the imminent refresh of Intel’s Xeon platform,” JPR Workstation Report author Alex Herrera explained. “Meanwhile, the mobile workstation saw an inevitable decline after several quarters of unsustainable pandemic-induced gains. And both segments are seeing some, varying degree of preemptive belt-tightening as all businesses wrestle with the “will it or won’t it” question of a possible near-term recession.”
