Mobo Sales Worldwide Fall

Mobo Sales Worldwide Fall

The global motherboard shipments are going to reach 45 million units in 2017 and could drop further in 2018 as demand continues to be shrinking, according to sources from the upstream supply chain.

Worldwide brand motherboard shipments were 75 million units in 2013, but slipped below 50 million units in 2016 reports Digitimes today:

Since motherboard demand from China, which had been the main growth driver in the past few years, is dropping significantly, shipments are expected to remain in decline in 2017.

Gigabyte Technology is also expected to see its motherboard shipments drop below 13 million units in 2017. In addition to China's weakening demand, competition from Asustek has also grown fiercer, the sources noted.

However, Gigabyte is still expected to be able to keep its EPS at above NT$3 for 2017 thanks to rising sales from its graphics card business because of the cryptocurrency mining trend and server orders in the first half of the year. In the first three quarters of 2017, Gigabyte is expected to ship 3.4 million graphics cards, a level similar to that of the entire 2016.

Since Gigabyte is still in the process of reorganizing its business, and shadows have been cast over the cryptocurrency trend, the sources believe these issues could pose strong challenges to the company's operation in 2018.

Not really surprising considering a Sandy Bridge is for all intents and purposes is still as capable as a Skylake. Ryzen being the only real "new" innovation to come to market isn't enough to boost the numbers.

Indeed very well put, but then again there is also the fact now that Ryzen is out the market is flooded astronomically with CPU's of varying sorts! :mad: and not enough proper uses out there for it as well as like you were saiyan sandy bridge and it's equivalent is still more than fine enough. Also as you were hinting towards the 99% of us PC users build PC's mostly for gaming and simple tasks so lets not kid ourselves there lol point being no real need for upgrading unless you were old pile driver core such as the 80350 and the likes

The astronomical RAM prices are partially responsible as well. A mobo goes along with RAM and CPU. The GPU prices aren't helping new builds either.

Everyone is on point. High ram prices and no convincing reason to upgrade for most people especially gamers. Intel's mainstream 6-core should help kick start motherboard sales again since It looks like it needs a new socket.
