GPU Sales Increased 39 Percent in 2020 | TechPowerUp
 
According to a new research report from the analyst firm Jon Peddie Research, the growth of the PC-based Graphics Processor Units (GPU) market reached 119 million units in Q1'21 and 38.74% year-over-year. Overall, the installed base of GPUs will grow at a compound annual growth rate of 2.87% during 2020-2025 to reach a total of 3,333 million units at the end of the forecast period. Over the next five years, the penetration of discrete GPUs (dGPU) in the PC will grow to reach a level of 26%.

As part of its ongoing research on the PC graphics market, Jon Peddie Research (JPR) has released its Market Watch report for the first quarter of 2021. Before 2020, the PC market was showing signs of improvement and settling into a new normal. The weakness of the just-in-time supply-chain was revealed in 2020 and the manufacturers of semiconductors and other components have not been able to scale up to meet the surge in demand and the backlog that was created. Intel's leading position in the market and their subsequent manufacturing difficulties exacerbated the situation. JPR's Market Watch report confirms that trend for the first quarter of 2021, but with cautious guidance for the upcoming year.
 
AMD's overall market share percentage from last quarter decreased by -0.12%, Intel's market share decreased by -0.5%, and Nvidia's market share increased 0.62%, as indicated in the following chart. Overall GPU unit shipments decreased by -0.3% from last quarter, AMD shipments decreased by -1.0%, Intel's shipments decreased by -1.0%, and Nvidia's shipments increased 3.9%. The first quarter is typically flat to down compared to the previous quarter. This quarter was down. 0.3% from last quarter which is below the 10 year average of 7%
 
Sales could be higher if all GPU manufacturers could produce more GPUs in my opinion.
 
GPU shipments soar in Q1 year-over-year | Jon Peddie Research

If manufacturers could produce more GPU's last year, it would probably be closer to 100% increase in sales. This year the number will probably be pretty low, simply because production can't keep up with the insane demand.

Crazy to think what this figure would be without a silicon shortage with the price of crypto this year.

How is there an increase of sales knowing there's shortage? What kind of hippie news is that? Seriously? What Type of out of space/reality plant they are smoking?

Of course you can... shortage happens when demand is greater than supply.

Here, my associate will elaborate the explanation of last week's 3080Ti release 
 

 

 
 

Everyone stayed home which meant people bought more gaming PCs.

GPUs are being manufactured in greater numbers than ever before. The "shortage" hasn't been due to supply. The shortage has been due to unprecedented consumer demand.

Due to crazy consumerism, they have sold more than ever before AND had a shortage at the same time.

I have said this many times.

you mean people stay at home and TRYING to buy new GPU when 90% of supply goes straight to the miners

You mean 25%, not 90%.

Just think if they could of kept up with demand.... 

The disheartening thing to me is when I drive past car dealerships and see a diminishing pool of cars on the lot.
 
Seeing that makes me think that we still aren't past the worst of the current situation.

I'm part of the 'stuck at home and want to play video games' group driving up the demand.
