It appears the scarcity of graphics cards is finally starting to come to an end for consumers. A new report states that shipments have greatly increased in favor of consumers. In a new research report from Jon Peddie Research, AIB (add-in board) graphics card shipments jumped an impressive 32.2% year-over-year. That number looks at both Nvidia and AMD AIB shipments.
As far as the overall value of the market, the report states that it dropped from $12.4 billion to $8.6 billion, as prices have fallen with more product to sell.
When looking at the two major players at the moment, both Nvidia and AMD saw year-over-year growth in shipments. Nvidia had an increase of 27.4% compared to last year, though its quarter-to-quarter shipments dropped slightly by -0.3%. AMD, on the other hand, had an increase in both areas. In quarter-to-quarter shipments, AMD saw an increase of 6.0% while year-over-year jumped 43.9%.
Regarding future value, Jon Peddie Research believes that the graphics card market will continue to see growth. In fact, the report estimates a growth from $46 billion to $57 billion by 2025. The big catalyst behind that growth is Intel’s entry to the AIB market within the next year.
“Despite unprecedented simultaneous global disturbances from COVID, supply-chain disruptions and shortages, the war in Ukraine, and the resulting inflationary spiral, the first quarter of AIB shipments posted a record year-to-year gain and a very respectable quarterly gain,” President of Jon Peddie Research, Dr. Jon Peddie, said.
With the next generation of graphics cards on its way — Nvidia 4000 series and AMD’s RDNA 3 GPUs — along with the aforementioned re-debut of Intel in the graphics market, hopefully the trend of more availability
