All PC desktop motherboard manufacturers: ASUS, MSI, Gigabyte and Asrock have said they are having about 20 to 40% drop in sales, in 2026.
ASUS sold 15 million units in 2025. Thats 12 monts.
Now, after 4 and half months of ongoing 2026, they have sold only 5 milion. How are they supposed to sell 10 million more until end of December?
Everybody else has the same problem but numbers differ from ASUS.
ASUS is the largest manufacturer and has been on the business for a long time, the first commercial product was a 386 motherboard on the year 1989.
Its not as old as entire PC ecosystem however since there were PC manufacturers already in 1983.
But ASUS was the first to offer end users their own build experience, without relying on complete PC sets that contain everything. Practically ASUS has invented the idea of buying separate components and creating your own PC, in Taiwan.
