The MAIT-IMRB survey, which took stock of sales of computers, networking products, internet connections, printers and other peripherals, indicated sales growth across all segments -- except servers -- in the country.

Sales of servers continued to decline in FY'11, falling by 14 per cent to 87,275 units from 1,01,827 units in FY'10. Sales of servers have been slowing down since FY'08, when they peaked at 1,22,178 units.

The survey observed 15 per cent growth in overall printer sales to 28.7 lakh units during FY'11, compared to 6 per cent growth in FY'10. MAIT found that the number of active entities using the internet grew by 6 per cent year-on-year to cross the 13 million-mark as of March, 2011. "By entities, we mean the number of households or organisations using the internet," Nair said.
