The number of PCs worldwide is expected to double to about 1.3 billion by 2010, driven by explosive growth in emerging markets leading by China with 178 million new PC users by 2010, 80 million in India etc according to a report by Forrester Research Inc.

Some 566 million new PCs are expected to be used in emerging markets by 2010, based on a study of adoption rates across 16 such markets, Forrester said. The 575 million PCs currently in use globally include about 75 million in emerging markets.

Growth in emerging markets will be driven by low-priced PCs made by local companies, Forrester said. Mature markets in the United States, Europe and Asia-Pacific are expected to add 150 million new PCs by 2010, according to the study.
