In 2022, it is forecast that nearly 20 million Chromebooks were shipped globally, a decrease close to 50 percent from the 36.9 million units that were shipped in 2021.
Coronavirus impact on Chromebook sales
The impacts of the coronavirus pandemic resulted in transformations to both work and education. In the case of education, distance learning increased in popularity during the pandemic, with more students requiring the correct hardware in order to make this a possibility. The education market has been one of the primary markets for Chromebooks, with the changes to the education system during the pandemic responsible for the surge in Chromebook vendor shipments.
