The company held first place on the Romanian market for notebook sales in the first quarter, with an 18.8 percent share, and occupied third place in Q2, with a 19 percent share, after Dell and Toshiba, who together claimed over 40 percent of the market.
High-end products, especially targeting the corporate sector, made up 30 percent of total Acer business on the Romanian market. “I believe this area will be subject to minor growth compared to the consumer segment. High-end notebooks are mostly intended for the corporate area, where the client takes the money out of his pocket and buys what and when he wants, without the need for budgets and approvals. We have a high-end consumer segment as well, namely for home entertainment, and in this niche we have major growth percentage-wise, although in terms of total value, volume is low,” according to a statement for Business Standard by Bogdan Iftemie, Sales Manager for Acer Romania.
Romanian notebook sales are expected to exceed 400,000 units this year. Major players are Dell, Toshiba, Acer, Fujitsu Siemens, HP, Asus and Lenovo.
