The major forecasting challenge over the past three years has been understanding the disruptive changes to household and business demand for computing and communication personal device, caused by the pandemic and the subsequent policies and procedures designed to mitigate its damaging effects. That period is now over and the new challenge is to gain a better understand of how AI Enabled Personal Computing Devices will restore demand to pre-pandemic levels and above.

Looking longer-term we see AI as the next major creative/destructive innovation event. As in the past, there is a lag, usually longer than expected, from the introduction of a new innovation to the full realization of it potential. Yet, AI (or the promise of AI) is here, and will have a significant impact on the demand for Personal Computing Devices by individual, households, businesses, and government entities.

Developer and vendors, distributors and marketers, investors, and business and consumer buyers/users all are facing important near-term and long-term decisions that require a greater clarity and understanding about the future of AI Enabled Personal Devices (AIEPDs). DRG can provide that greater clarity and understands of the market for total PCs, Tablets, and Phones, as well as the emerging AI Enabled market, with its market size and 10-Year forecasts developed using its proprietary EquilibriumSolver (EQS) methodology and application.S
