The impact of upstream component cost increases has now fully worked its way through to end-market pricing, with consumers and IT decision-makers responding accordingly. On the supply side, vendors and their ODM partners began scaling back production in 3Q, while channel partners continued working through elevated inventory levels.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nSupply chain challenges have intensified in recent months. Alongside continued increases in memory and storage prices, shortages of processors, graphics cards, and numerous IC components have made supply chain and inventory management more difficult for PC vendors.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cThe cost share of DRAM and SSDs in PCs has risen sharply from a typical level of around 15% to nearly 40%, with price increases more than fourfold,\u201d said <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fomdia.tech.informa.com%2Fauthors%2Fben-yeh&amp;esheet=54618804&amp;newsitemid=20261009296871&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=Ben+Yeh%2C+Principal+Analyst+at+Omdia&amp;index=2&amp;md5=7b561676eb791b043c0340bb81d7dbe5\">Ben Yeh, Principal Analyst at Omdia<\/a>. \u201cAlthough PC vendors have raised prices multiple times over the past few quarters, these increases have yet to fully offset the impact. These pressures are expected to persist, and the current decline may be just the beginning of a new downward cycle.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nOmdia forecasts the PC market to decline 24% year-over-year in 4Q26
