Computer Manufacturing in Canada

Computer manufacturers have undergone long-term decline as fierce international competition continues to flood the domestic market with low-cost imports. This influx of imports has been driven by foreign competitors, primarily from developing economies that have lower labour and production costs. Competition combined with product standardization has exerted strong downward pressure on prices, lowering revenue growth. Several major operators have exited the industry prior to the current period. Revenue drastically dropped heading into the period because of these exits, but it evened out prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, which caused growth, then additional decline as supply chain difficulties resulted in low availability of semiconductors. Revenue is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.8% to $422.9 million over the five years to 2023. Revenue, is expected to decrease 3.7% in 2023 alone as consumer sentiment shrinks, along with a longstanding trend of falling computer prices.
