JPR Workstation Report Market Quarterly – single issue
The workstation market softens in Q2’26
But viewed in light of recent history, it doesn’t necessarily portend any long-term material weakness… at least not yet.
The workstation market was arguably due to soften in the near future, and Q2’26 delivered on that expectation. Shipments declined 2.3% year over year (YoY) and 16% sequentially, with both figures marking the most significant drops since 2023, in the aftermath of a very atypical pandemic period. Second-quarter volume is often down sequentially from Q1, but Q2’26’s more substantial drop may raise eyebrows.
“Given the more dramatic dip, it’s worth considering if it portends a longer-term weakness in the market,” explained Senior Analyst and JPR Workstation Report author Alex Herrera. “But viewers need to consider the context of recent quarters’ performance—as well as significant new market impacts in 2026—before settling on takeaways from Q2’s performance.”
This information and more is covered in the latest (single) issue of the Market Quarterly.
