Acer India has recorded its "best ever year" in 2024 so far in terms of business performance and growth on the back of a surge in the consumer segment, a senior executive at the firm said.
The 25-year-old company is now aiming to climb the ranks and position itself as the second largest PC manufacturer in India. It is eyeing 18-20 per cent market share.
"The year 2024 has been our best year ever. We have surpassed all previous records in terms of revenue and overall growth, which have both grown at over 35 per cent, with one quarter still remaining," Sudhir Goel (pictured), chief business officer (CBO), Acer India, told Business Standard.
The company has also recorded 35 per cent year-on-year (Y-o-Y) growth in the first two weeks of the festival season.
"We see ourselves climbing higher in the PC rankings to the second spot. That is our objective for the future. We are targeting close to 18-20 per cent market share in the coming years," he added.
