Prague, December 18, 2014 – The Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) thin-client market posted single-digit growth in Q3 2014, according to the EMEA Quarterly Enterprise Client Device Tracker published by global IT market research firm International Data Corporation (IDC). In 2014, during a transition period of IT upgrades, thin clients were competing directly and intensely with commercial PCs for markets share. Although thin clients are still a niche market in EMEA, their dynamic growth has exceeded the market average during the first three quarters of 2014. IDC expects the share of thin clients in overall shipments of commercial personal computing hardware will grow from 4.2% in 2013 to 4.4% in 2014 and continue increasing over the long-term. (TZ)
