Brazil market share

  • 16.1% total PC sales (2009)
  • 24.7% official market sales (2009)
  • 29.9% retail market share
  • Target market

    In 2004, Positivo began actively targeting the retail market. Positivo was primarily focused on middle-class families who likely had never been able to purchase a home personal computer previously. Positivo creates lower-cost computers which are more accessible to the growing middle class in Brazil given their low cost: with financing, the cheapest of these PCs can be paid off for $30/month, making it possible to reach families making ~$270/month. These computers are designed to serve both as a TV and a personal computer.

    Now, Positivo makes a wider range of computers costing up to $2000 targeted toward higher-income customers.
