ChartTrack reveals highest ever total market value and unit sales for first three months of the year
It’s official: the past three months have been the most lucrative first quarter in the UK industry’s history.
ChartTrack has confirmed to MCV that retailers raked in a phenomenal £418.4m across all software, including office packages, while a total of 17.89m units were sold.
Both categories demonstrate an expanding market – total unit sales were up by over two million compared to last year’s figure, while market value was the real star; it leapt up by over £100m year-on year.
