The recession in the global economy and high inflation force the consumer to think about their pockets. Especially the stagnation of the gaming industry and the decrease in Bitcoin mining negatively affect video card sales.
The graphics card market is in trouble.
In the graphics card market, where stocks began to pile up, PC-based graphics card sales amounted to 84 million as of the second quarter of the year. Last quarter, that figure was 96 million. The 34 percent decrease in PC sales was effective in reaching these levels.
Video card stocks are alarming
Shipment decline in the overall graphics market was 14.9 percent quarter-on-quarter. AMD shipments fell 7.6 percent, Intel shipments fell 9.8 percent, and Nvidia shipments fell 25.7 percent. Desktop AIB graphics cards, on the other hand, dropped by 22.6 percent.
AMD increased its market share to 20 percent in the second quarter. Intel also increased by 2 percentage points to 62 percent. Nvidia, whose financial statements are not good, fell 3.15 points to 18 percent. Analysis for the rest of the year is not very promising. Rising energy prices, the Russia-Ukraine war and high inflation are still a major threat.
