Market Overview
The Quartz Crystal Oscillators Market is expected to register a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period of 2021 -2026. The oscillators are an electronic circuit that is used to generate an electrical signal of a particular frequency by utilizing the vibrating crystal’s (piezoelectric material) mechanical resonance. Although there are different types of piezoelectric resonators, quartz crystal is typically used in this type of oscillators. Hence, these oscillator electronic circuits are called quartz crystal oscillators in the market studied.
- Increasing demand for convenience is driving the application of wireless interconnections, like remote keyless entry. Crystal devices, such as quartz crystal units and crystal oscillators, have high stability against environmental changes. Therefore, they are used as frequency control devices in electronic circuits. The application of crystal units and crystal oscillators in automobiles is expected to grow during the forecast period.
- These products are preferred in multiple applications due to their technical advantages. Quartz crystals in oscillators result in high-frequency stability, a high-quality factor of the resonance, and low-temperature drift, making it an obvious choice for applications with such need.
- Crystal oscillators are widely used in safety applications, such as brake control, anti-blocking system, airbag, and tire pressure monitoring systems (TPMS). The demand for precision, coupled with growing requirements, improving regulations for safety applications, and the necessity for fast data transmission, drives the adoption of crystal units and oscillators. Additionally, quartz crystals are cheap to produce and procure. They find many applications in clock circuits in microprocessor boards, radiofrequency applications, the timing element in digital watches, and telecommunications, and data transmission.
- The crystal oscillators are the most critical components for frequency control applications, such as telecommunication and data transmission. Telecommunication systems, such as SONET SDH, require a high stability system clock to thwart time slips or data loss. Continuously evolving telecommunication technology and the increased penetration of smartphones in the consumer’s lifestyle are expected to drive the demand for crystal oscillators.
- However, due to the Outbreak of COVID-19, there is a huge impact on the electronics industry due to the halt in the electronics parts’ production facilities due to the logistics slowdown and unavailability of the workforce across the globe. Also, there is a decline in the automotive industry. Hence the market is likely to face challenges until the resurgence from the pandemic.
