PC Manufacturers To See Massive Decline In Motherboard Shipments In 2026 Due To Low Consumer Demand As Component Prices Rise

Motherboard shipments are projected to drop sharply in 2026 as PC upgrade demand weakens.

ASUS, MSI, Gigabyte, and ASRock are expected to ship fewer boards, pressuring the PC hardware market.

AI server sales are helping major vendors offset some of the lost profit from slower PC business.
