Russians are buying fewer new laptops
Published
In the first nine months of 2026, Russians bought 19% fewer new laptops than in the same period last year. This refers to 1.94 million units. The data indicate that demand for technology in the country has declined.
Experts believe that one of the reasons for this drop may be rising electronics prices. Many buyers are trying to postpone purchases or choose cheaper models. For those who work or study remotely, this may become an important factor when planning their budget.
It is important to note that the decline in sales applies only to new laptops. The market for used equipment and the repair of old devices, according to some estimates, may have become more popular among Russians recently.
Thus, the computer equipment market in Russia is going through a period of decline. Further sales dynamics will depend on the economic situation and buyer behaviour in the coming months.
