Graphics card shipments grew at a record pace last year, despite the global chip crisis being felt heavily and orders were not kept up. Of course, developments that are far from the figure in 1998 are promising.
2021 was a very productive year
According to the market research, the graphics card shipments of the manufacturing partners, namely AIB partners, exceeded 50 million in 2021 and there was a 30 percent increase. In 2020, 42 million graphics cards were sold. In 1998, the record still could not be broken with 116 million graphics cards.
Graphics card prices dropped even more
Prices that took flight due to the crisis doubled the revenues. While revenue from sales approached $52 billion, there was a growth of around 30 percent. The average selling price of the graphics cards was $1000.
On the brand side, AMD increased its total shipments by 12.4% quarterly and 35.7 percent year-on-year. Nvidia, on the other hand, maintained its leadership with 77.2 percent, while shipments grew by 5 percent on a quarterly basis.
Graphics card sales are expected to remain stable this year. With Intel’s participation in the race, the numbers will increase even more. However, decreases in video card prices may affect revenue.
