ASROCK Incorporation, as a manufacturer of computer hardware, heavily relies on the procurement of semiconductors and printed circuit boards. These are mainly imported from Taiwan and China, as these countries are leading in the production of these materials. Metals such as copper and aluminum, which are needed for the production of printed circuit boards and other components, often come from resource-rich countries like Chile and Australia.
The dependence on these materials and their countries of origin reflects the global supply chain typical for the electronics industry. Fluctuations in the availability or prices of these raw materials can have significant impacts on the production costs and pricing of ASROCK products.
