Apple retail sales up from 9% to 14%!

Apple retail sales up from 9% to 14%!

When we thought 9% was a lot of US-based PC retail sales for Apple, it gets even bigger. In February of last year, Mac market share was at 9%, that number has now raised to a whopping 14%. These numbers are for retail stores, and this excludes Dell and other online computer stores. The other stat that the market research firm NPD had was the Mac dollar share. In February of 2008, Apple had 25%, where last year they had 16% The dollar represents how much money was spend on the computer, so for every $4 spent in February, $1 was for Apple.

If Apple wants to continue this growth, they should be opening many new retail stores. Chains like CompUSA that sold Macs are now out of business, mainly due to the success of the Apple Stores. Andy Hargreaves, a Pacific Crest Securities analyst predicts that the iPhone Enterprise solution may create a Halo effect, that could bring more Macs in the business environment.
