Asus and Gigabyte, which together account for 70% of the motherboard market, have warned that they expect sales to drop by around 25% compared to last year. 

While graphics card prices and availability are somewhat back to normal and component shortages are stalling, global inflation will affect other businesses. Asus and Gigabyte, who control 70% of the motherboard market, predict a 25% drop in sales this year.

Part of the decline may be because buyers no longer need to buy a new motherboard and will get a GPU. In a pandemic, businesses pushed wholesalers to bundle motherboards, such as an RTX 3080 with 7 mid-range or 3 high-end motherboards. Normal. Taiwanese PC industry sources believe the market will shrink by about a quarter this year compared to 2021. Q2 2022 shipments confirmed the projection. This drop was unexpected. 

AMD's AM5 and Intel's 700 series motherboards won't boost the market, either. Some predict a fresh crypto mining boom might boost motherboard sales if inflation and the Russian-Ukrainian war end.

According to Asus and Gigabyte, motherboard sales will fall by 25% this year.
