Market Overview

The crystal oscillator market registered a value of USD 2.62 billion in 2018 and is expected to register a CAGR of 4.56% over the forecast period (2019-2024). 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.

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, is driving the adoption of crystal units and oscillators.
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 in the market.

Scope of the Report

A crystal oscillator is an electronic oscillator that makes use of crystal as a frequency selective element, to obtain an inverse piezoelectric effect. It makes use of the mechanical resonance of the vibrating crystal, which has piezoelectric properties, in order to obtain an electric signal with a high-precision frequency. Crystal oscillators are considered superior to ceramic resonators, as they have higher stability, higher quality, lower cost, and are smaller in size.

Competitive Landscape

The crystal oscillator market is moderately competitive and consists of various major players. In terms of market share, few of the major players currently dominate the market. However, with innovative and sustainable packaging, many companies are increasing their market presence by securing new contracts, by tapping the new markets.

February 2019 - Kyocera Corporation announced that its Germany-based European headquarters, Kyocera Fineceramics GmbH, concluded an agreement with H.C. Starck GmbH, to acquire 100% of the shares of its subsidiary H.C. Starck Ceramics GmbH, a European advanced ceramics manufacturing and sales company based in Selb, Germany. H.C. Starck Ceramics may join Kyocera Group and begin operations in spring 2019.
August 2018 - TXC launched a series of 1.0mmx0.8mmx0.3mm (1008), the world’s smallest crystal (8A series). The 8A crystal is suitable for portable electronic devices, such as smartphones, and wearable devices, such as smartwatches. In the past, the characteristics of miniaturized crystals could not meet product application demand. Now, with the 1008 8A crystal, it is able to meet miniaturization demands with characteristics, such as low power consumption and high performance. The typical reference synthesizing frequency is at 37.4Mhz, 38.4Mhz, 40Mhz, and 48Mhz.
