In the first Russia quarter of 2024, monitor sales increased by a third compared to the same period last year. According to analysts, 873,000 GfK monitors worth 14.2 billion were sold in the country during this period. rubles According to the publication "," Sheets the largest popularity among Russian consumers in the segment of small and medium-sized businesses and retail is preserved by Taiwan, Acer whose devices continue to enter the market through parallel import channels. Acer's share in this segment increased to 40%.

Loginov explained the growth in demand for monitors by the fact that the work cycle of these devices exceeds the term of the current performance of personal computers and workstations. Companies periodically update devices purchased several years ago, especially those that were purchased before 2020. The increase in sales was also influenced by the growth of production capacity in Russia and the creation of new jobs.

Another factor contributing to the growth in demand was the transition to monitors with large diagonals. As the complexity of content increases, devices with a small screen become less in demand. According to OCS, 24-inch monitors now account for up to 46% of all sales, displacing 22-inch models from the market. In the future, monitors with a diagonal of 27 inches or more will become the most popular.^[1]

In total, the group of these companies accounted for about 53.5% of the market, which is even less than a month earlier. Analysts characterize the Russian computer monitor market as highly fragmented: by the end of 2023, about 50 brands were represented on it, which is "abnormally large for a mature market."

ITResearch also reported that in October-December 2023, slightly more than 1 million monitors were sold in Russia, which is 2% less than in the same period in 2022. The decline was largely due to the high performance of the fourth quarter of 2022: then there was an active recovery after the collapse in the first half of 2022. Experts also associate some market decline with a certain overstocking, as well as with a high dollar exchange rate, which makes ruble prices for monitors not very attractive.^[2]

2020: Growth of the Russian monitor market by 13%, to just under 4 million units

The volume of the Russian computer monitor market at the end of 2020 amounted to just under 4 million units - about 3 thousand devices sold were not enough for this figure. This was reported in the analytical company ITResearch.

The rise of the Russian monitor market in ITResearch was associated with a surge in demand for home computers, which, in turn, was caused by a massive transition to a remote learning and work format due to the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic. This factor was able to compensate for the drop in monitor sales in the corporate sector.

The Russian monitor market for 2020 grew by 13%

Analysts also pay attention to high sales of gaming monitors and a shift in demand towards models with 24-inch displays (experts call this segment "mainstream"). All this made it possible to keep the weighted average cost of the devices quite high, the study says.

AOC was named the leader of the Russian monitor market at the end of 2020. Philips is in second place, Acer is in third place. Next comes Samsung. These manufacturers accounted for more than half (50.7%) of PC monitor sales in 2020, which, according to analysts, is a fairly low indicator: the intensity of competition in the monitor market is characterized as high.

According to ITResearch, AOC was the leader in the gaming monitor segment with a share of about 25%, but Acer, LG and Samsung competed strongly with AOC at different periods of 2020. If you look at gaming monitors with a diagonal above 27 inches, then AOC also feels quite confident there, if not leading, then entering the leading three in almost all key diagonals, analysts added.^[4]
