IDC's Europe, Middle East and Africa Quarterly PC Monitor Tracker® service is an essential business analysis and planning tool for PC and monitor vendors seeking to improve their positions in this increasingly competitive market segment and to address the growth opportunities offered by the EMEA region. While the continued expansion of the PC market across EMEA offers key opportunities for increased display penetration in the consumer and business markets, the market shift to LCD widescreen displays, LED backlights, touchscreen interfaces, multifunction monitors with TV tuner, 3D displays, shifts in aspect ratios, new usage models, or bundles with notebooks is driving major changes in the monitor market itself. Leveraging IDC's long-established PC and monitor research and unmatched analyst presence and research coverage, this service provides a unique and comprehensive analysis of PC monitor shipments by vendor, technology, screen size, screen ratio, aspect ratio, interface, backlight, user segment, and distribution channel, and most importantly a 5–12 quarter forecast plus an additional two years of annual projections by technology, display size, and screen ratio for each country included in the service, all of which is provided through best-in-class online delivery tools.
