Crystal oscillators, utilizing crystals for frequency selection, provide stable clock signals in digital integrated circuits and high-frequency reference in specific applications.
Crystal oscillators come in several types, including temperature-compensated crystal oscillators (TCXO), simple packaged crystal oscillators (SPXO), voltage-controlled crystal oscillators (VCXO), frequency-controlled crystal oscillators (FCXO), oven-controlled crystal oscillators (OCXO), and various others. TCXOs utilize a temperature-sensitive reactance circuit within the oscillation loop to offset the inherent frequency-temperature characteristics of the crystal unit. These oscillators can be mounted via surface mount or through-hole methods and find application across diverse sectors such as telecom and networking, consumer electronics, military and aerospace, research and measurement, industrial, automotive, and medical equipment industries.

This crystal oscillators market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The crystal oscillators market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $3.04 billion in 2023 to $3.21 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.8%. The historical period's advancement can be credited to the expansion of telecommunications, the surge in consumer electronics, increased utilization in military and defense sectors, the rise in industrial automation, and the growth of the medical device market.
The crystal oscillators market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $4.05 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.0%. During the forecast period, expansion is expected due to the increased adoption of electric vehicles, advancements in space exploration endeavors, rising utilization of autonomous vehicles, heightened demand for high-performance computing, and the increased need for miniaturized oscillators. Dominant trends anticipated in this period encompass surface mount technology (SMT) oscillators, MEMS oscillators, high-frequency oscillators, voltage-controlled oscillators, low-noise oscillators, and automotive-grade oscillators.
The anticipated surge in smartphone and tablet adoption is poised to drive the growth of the crystal oscillators market. These devices commonly integrate two crystal oscillators, serving critical roles in maintaining sleep-mode timing adjacent to the processor and within power management chips. The technical superiority of crystal oscillators, characterized by their cost-effectiveness and energy efficiency, positions them as favored components in mobile phones and tablets. For instance, Gartner Inc.'s study revealed a 6% global increase in smartphone sales from 2020 to 2021, following a 12.5% decline amid the COVID-19 pandemic from 2019 to 2020. As the sales of mobile phones continue to rise consistently, there's an expected upsurge in demand for crystal oscillators throughout the forecast period.
The projected increase in military spending is poised to drive the expansion of the crystal oscillators market. Military expenditure encompasses the financial resources allocated by a country for defense and associated activities within a specific timeframe, typically on an annual basis. Crystal oscillators find extensive use in military and aerospace applications, particularly in communication systems, radar, and navigation equipment, generating heightened demand in these sectors. For example, in 2022, data released by the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) indicated a record-breaking global military budget of $2.2 trillion. Consequently, the upward trajectory of military expenditure is anticipated to significantly contribute to the growth of the crystal oscillators market.
The crystal oscillators market is witnessing a surge in the adoption of cutting-edge technology, a trend being embraced by major industry players. Leading companies in this sector are dedicated to innovating new solutions with superior technical capabilities, aimed at meeting the rapidly increasing demand from end-users while solidifying their market presence. As an example, in July 2021, Epson America Inc., a California-based manufacturer specializing in printers, system devices, scanners, and projectors, introduced the SG2520CAA quartz oscillator. This product is designed to operate reliably at high temperatures up to +125 &deC, catering to diverse applications in the automotive sector and other high-reliability products. Notably, these crystal oscillators boast low power consumption and support a wide operating voltage range of 1.6 to 3.63V, enhancing advanced driver assistance systems and significantly improving driving comfort.
Key players in the crystal oscillators market are concentrating on developing ultra-low current crystal oscillators to bolster their competitive edge in the industry. These specialized oscillators are characterized by their exceptionally low power consumption. A case in point is TAITIEN Electronics Co. Ltd., a Taiwan-based manufacturer of control components, which unveiled the OZ-D and OY-D models of ultra-low current crystal oscillators in May 2022. These models exhibit an impressively low current consumption rate of merely 1.4μA. Notably, these crystal oscillators feature a design focused on minimizing power usage, showcasing a substantial reduction in current consumption of over 90% compared to prior 32.768kHz oscillators. TAITIEN's launch of these ultra-low current crystal oscillators underscores their commitment to delivering high-precision, low-power consumption, and wide-temperature quartz crystals, addressing the diverse requirements of their clientele.
In July 2023, Abracon, a leading US-based provider of Frequency Control, Timing, Power, Magnetics, RF, and Antenna solutions, completed the acquisition of NEL Frequency Controls, Inc. The undisclosed acquisition represents a pivotal step in Abracon's dedication to broadening its array of precision timing products. NEL Frequency Controls, Inc., also based in the US, specializes in manufacturing ultra-low phase noise crystal oscillators and modules. This acquisition amplifies Abracon's capabilities and reinforces its commitment to offering a wider range of high-quality precision timing solutions to its clientele.
