Hannes Wallin, CEO and Founder of Fractal comments:
“Our product margin increased substantially during the quarter and we can see that the supply of graphic cards, which impacts demand for our products, has improved and that prices are beginning to drop from the peak levels we saw last year.

The shortage of graphics cards witnessed for most of 2021 has created a pent-up demand in the market since many gamers have waited before upgrading their computers. We expect the increased availability and lower prices for graphics cards expected in 2022 to lead to increased demand for cases and also fans and power supply units. We are well positioned to take advantage of the continued strong interest in high-performance gaming based on our strong brand and prominent global market position.

Despite the increased uncertainty when it comes to demand and the supply chain due to the war in Ukraine and the continuing impact of the pandemic in Asia, we expect to once again post growth for 2022. We anticipate low demand that will continue during the first half of the year but stronger growth during the second half as the availability of graphics cards improves and prices fall further.”
