Abstract
This IDC study provides detailed analysis, conclusions, and forecasts regarding
the dynamics of the Gulf States (UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, and
Oman) personal computer market. The information in this study is intended to
provide an understanding of the changes and challenges facing the PC industry.
IDC' s 2007 figures and analysis are based on information gathered from
interviews with the leading IT companies (vendors, distributors, assemblers,
system integrators, value-added resellers, and dealers) active in the region.
"The favorable economic situation and government and foreign investment will
continue to fuel the expansion of the GCC PC market. Consumer demand and new
