Still, Dell had built up such a large lead in annual sales that it held onto a thin 0.3 percent lead over HP in market share for the aaaa year of 2006.
That lead won't last long if current trends continue, said Matthew Wilkins, iSuppli's principal analyst for computer platforms, in a statement. Both HP and Acer grew much faster than the market as a whole and could soon pass their rivals.
In the fourth quarter, HP had the greatest market share with 17.4 percent, followed by Dell at 14.5 percent, Lenovo at 7.1 percent, Acer at 6.6 percent, and Toshiba at 3.7 percent. Those numbers placed the companies in the same rankings they held in the third quarter of 2006.
But ranked by their sales growth compared to the fourth quarter of 2005, Acer had the best term with a 42.7 percent increase, leading Toshiba, which had 21.3 percent, HP at 21.1 percent, Lenovo with 8.2 percent, and Dell with its 8.6 percent loss. At that rate, HP will soon pass Dell for the No. 1 spot, and Acer will soon pass Lenovo for the No. 3 ranking, Wilkins said.
