Asrock China

ASRock is navigating a transformative period in the Chinese market (2025–2026), characterized by a strategic exit from local manufacturing due to 10% U.S. tariffs and intense competition from surging domestic brands TomshardwarePcworld.

Product & Manufacturing Trends

* Manufacturing Exodus: ASRock is actively shifting motherboard and GPU production from China to Vietnam and Taiwan to avoid escalating trade costs TechpowerupTomshardware. High-end models like the X870E Nova are among the first to see production moved to Vietnamese facilities Tomshardware.

* Segmented Relocation: While GPU and motherboard production is moving, lower-margin items like power supplies (already under 25% tariffs) are largely remaining in China as the relocation benefit is minimal TechpowerupTechpowerup.

* Technical Shifts: The company is focusing on high-performance standards, such as DDR5 HUDIMM and PCIe 5.0 support, to maintain an edge against local budget brands WccftechTechpowerup.

Market Insights & Domestic Surge

* Domestic Dominance: Chinese domestic chip and hardware brands (Huawei, Biren, Colorful, Maxsun) are projected to capture 90% of the market share by 2026, leaving international brands like ASRock, AMD, and NVIDIA with just 10% BeamWccftech.

* Mini PC Rivalry: ASRock’s DeskMini series faces stiff competition from Beelink and Minisforum, which are dominating the budget-to-midrange segments with aggressive pricing and AI-agent-ready configurations RedditMinipc-ReviewOpenclawforge.

* Mainland Ranking: As of early 2025, domestic brands Colorful and Maxsun have solidified their positions as top-five motherboard shippers in mainland China, often matching or exceeding the shipment volumes of mid-tier international vendors ExpreviewReddit.
