Global motherboard shipment volume is forecast to reach 107.7 million units in 2016, according to MIC (Market Intelligence and Consulting Institute), a Taipei-based research institute. "Although a majority of motherboard makers were struggling with their inventory levels in 2016, the new graphics card launch had succeeded in creating higher demand for mid- and high-end motherboards in second quarter of 2016," says Claire Lin, industry analyst with MIC.
