The data displays the % of households in the UK that own a home computer, also known as a desktop computer. In 1985, when this survey initiated, only 13% of households owned a home computer. As of 2017, that number has increased significantly to 88% of households. The market penetration was highest in this year.
Computers have basically become a necessity in the modern world. They are used to communicate, gaming/entertainment, shopping, working, and much more. Although the percentage change in the sales volume of computers declined after the financial crisis in 2008/2009, it has been on the rise in recent years.
