AMD saw twice the increase in GPU market share compared to last year, reaching almost 15%, which is the highest in the previous 12 months.
Intel Reaches Over 1% GPU Market Share for the First Time & AMD Sees Record Growth All Due To NVIDIA's Poor Market Performance
AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT sales are up by 10x in the Korean DIY market as we enter 2025. This was merely above 1% in February 2024, and it has now gone to 10.26% as of January 2025. If you think this is crazy, then you should also see the RX 7600 stats, which now show a 35.16% share when we consider AMD Radeon GPUs.
These are just a small glimpse of what 2025 has brought us, and this couldn't have been possible without NVIDIA's aid. If you think AMD is able to increase its GPU market share due to 'better' GPUs, then you are wrong. It's simply because NVIDIA's RTX GPUs are almost invisible in the market—not just in Korea but also in various parts of the world.
If you visit popular retailers such as Amazon, Newegg, Best Buy, etc., you will understand what we are talking about. It's hard to find RTX 40 series GPUs, let alone RTX 50 series GPUs, particularly high-end ones, starting with the 70-class cards. AMD still has a decent supply of RX 7000 GPUs, as well as some from the RX 6000 series.
The same is seen in the Korean DIY market, where AMD has reached a good 14.65% market share in January 2025. This is almost twice as compared to the 7.69% GPU market share in Feb 2024. The surprising part is that the trend is just getting started. With a a 14.22% GPU market share in the first week of January, AMD has gained up to 20.8% in the first week of February this year. As per Danawa Research, this is the highest it has ever recorded since the compilation of these stats.
AMD and Intel have also seen a good GPU market increase this year, reaching 1.2% total GPU market share. On paper, it seems really low, but look at the stats for the months of 2024. Intel was just at 0.09% at the start of 2024. All of this has resulted in a decline in NVIDIA's GPU market share, which used to be over 90% but now is at just 84.16%.
It's unclear how long this trend will continue, but it may continue until NVIDIA can provide its latest RTX 50 series GPUs to consumers according to the demand.
