Information gathered by DigiTimes indicates that approximately 39 million motherboards are expected to be sold in 2024 – causing sales volume to return to the scale seen before the pandemic, with numbers higher than those of 2019.
The data was gathered with current sales and estimates from four major manufacturers in this segment: ASUS, Gigabyte, MSI and ASRock. According to the analysis, the four will be responsible for the recovery in the PC market after the declines we saw from 2020 onwards.
In 2019, the number of motherboards sold was 37.6 million units. However, with the pandemic in 2020, a large drop in shipments of this hardware and GPUs was seen. In 2022, the lowest point was seen with a reduction of 10 million in global sales – an approximate drop of 25% per year.
With the reopening of the border with China in 2023, after three years of travel restrictions, a recovery was seen and we saw a total of 37 million units sold during the period. With a slight growth, the estimates become more positive.

What’s new among the millions of motherboards sold
DigiTimes analyzed the data shown by the largest motherboard manufacturers, revealing the sales expectation for each by the end of the year: 15 million units sold by ASUS; 10.3 million units sold by Gigabyte; 9.3 million units sold by MSI and 4.2 million units sold by ASRock.
These four alone already total 38.8 million – which should be further boosted by smaller manufacturers throughout 2024.
Furthermore, this number should be even higher with the arrival of new processors during the period. Qualcomm has already stated that the Snapdragon X will arrive on the desktop, not to mention the AMD Ryzen 9000 CPUs that will launch at the end of July and the Intel Core Ultra 200 CPUs – expected for October.
AM5 motherboards will continue to support Ryzen 9000 processors, but AMD also announced new X870 and X870E chipsets with USB 4.0 and PCIe 5.0 support. Intel’s “Arrow Lake” processors – which use the LGA-1851 SoC – could bring more sales to the manufacturer’s new “800” motherboards.
