Google is one of the leading tech companies in the market. With its search engine to its android user interface to its huge number of smart devices, Google has been ruling the technology market. But one thing is there by Google which is running a little slow in the market and we really don’t know why the product is taking so long to lead the market despite having such great qualities and specifications.

The company has been very slow with its Chromebook which is a really good product but still attracting much crowd. The laptop has a really great OS and it also comes very affordable. But still it seems like the OS that Microsoft and Apple provide are really way better than the Chrome OS and people are not even interested to try the OS out as they are totally comfortable with the Windows or Mac OS. Honestly, the Microsoft Windows is really very convenient, fast and easy to use and people really find it comfortable. 

The problem that Chromebook is facing is not that people are already using the Windows or MAC OS, or they are comfortable with the OS, the problem is that they don’t even want to try the other alternative.

MARKET SHARE                   

Talking about the market capture, Microsoft has 95% of the market share in the Laptop and PC industry, the 5% is also thanks to Apple, not held by Microsoft.

In the desktop operating system, Windows have around 76% of market share, Apple has around 17% of market share in desktop computers. Only these two companies have a total of 93% of market share in the industry. Google’s Chrome OS just has 1.83% of users in the whole industry which is really a small number. There is a whole different story about the change.

After the covid-19 pandemic, the chrome books were the only one to provide remote learning to the students who were not able to learn in schools as schools were closed for the time being.

It was the budget friendly laptops which made it possible for the students to study online remotely in such pandemic situation. 

Though one day, the pandemic will be over and students will be able to once again study online, but it doesn’t mean that he will not be using the Chromebook again. It will be the part of his life and he will be using it for the rest of his life.

HOW DID THE SALES INCREASE?

Earlier, there used to be desktop PCs at offices and houses of most of the people. But after the covid-19 happened, the Desktop market got a little bit on the lower side as there was no one in the office to work on those desktop PCs. The students also needed a system to learn online in the Zoom classes and Chromebook was the only affordable option with a long-lasting battery to help them out with such a problem.

So, as the new academic year started, a large number of parents moved to low cost Chromebook for their kids which would help them in studying online and taking Zoom lectures. This was how the company’s sales increased rapidly. Hopefully, this year Chromebooks will have a great year.
