NPD: Apple’s holiday quarter U.S. Mac sales were strong, up 18% year over year

“New domestic sales data from the NPD Group shows that Apple’s U.S. Mac sales were up 18 percent year-over-year during the holidays, suggesting that the company remains on track to report its best quarterly Mac sales ever,” AppleInsider reports.

“Analyst Gene Munster with Piper Jaffray on Monday revealed the new figures from NPD, which showed domestic Mac sales up 18 percent during Apple’s holiday quarter,” AppleInsider reports. “International Mac sales are growing faster than domestic, which means Apple is in line to meet Wall Street expectations of 24 percent year-over-year sales growth.”

AppleInsider reports, “Munster noted that NPD data from the September 2010 quarter indicated Mac sales were up 22 percent year over year, while Apple reported actual Mac unit growth of 27 percent. That could foreshadow another out-performance from Apple in the holiday quarter.”
