Gigabyte and ASUS shipped 60% of the motherboards to China

Digitimes reports that ASUS and Gigabyte shipped 60% of the motherboards purchased to China. The total size of the Chinese motherboard market in the first half of 2013 was 14,5 million motherboards.

ASUS took 4,5 to 4,8 million of this huge volume, while GIGABYTE took 4 to 4,2 million. The extraordinary result is further emphasized by the fact that both manufacturers were able to increase compared to the same period last year. ASUS lasted 4,4 million last year, while GIGABYTE held 3 million units. You can see that GIGABYTE sold a third more cards in China this year.

MSI has also evolved, with 800 to 1 million sold instead of 1,1 a year ago. They are followed by ASRock, they sold 920 thousand, compared to only 800 thousand a year ago. Of the bigger names, Biostar and ECS were the losers, but the real loss could be posted by small brands like Onda, Colorful, or Soyo. They lose about 25-60% of their market share each year.
