During the nine months of 2026, sales of new laptops in Russia fell by 19% year-on-year to 1.94 million devices, writes Yeda. In monetary terms, the market fell by 5%, to 132 billion rubles. According to the retailers, the main reason for the drop in demand was a 30-35% price increase, due to which a significant number of buyers rejected the planned equipment upgrades. The market is shrinking for the second year in a row.
