According to Ravi Bhandari, Head of Research, 6Wresearch, the market for Temperature-Compensated Crystal Oscillators (TCXO) and Oven-Controlled Crystal Oscillators (OCXO) is expected to witness significant growth. This can be attributed to their high stability and precision, which are critical in advanced communication systems and GPS applications. On the other hand, the Simple Packaged Crystal Oscillator (SPXO) segment dominates the market due to its widespread usage in general consumer electronics and its cost-effectiveness. Meanwhile, the Voltage-Controlled Crystal Oscillator (VCXO) and Frequency-Controlled Crystal Oscillator (FCXO) are also anticipated for moderate growth as they find niche applications in specialized equipment requiring fine frequency adjustments.
On the basis of crystal cut, the AT cut segment is expected to dominate due to its widespread application in consumer electronics, telecommunications, and automotive industries. AT cut crystals offer excellent frequency stability and are less sensitive to temperature changes, making them highly suitable for precision-driven applications. On the other hand, the BT cut segment is projected to experience substantial growth primarily driven by its suitability for high-frequency applications. Its unique properties make it ideal for use in devices where low phase noise and high frequency stability are critical, including radio frequency identification (RFID) devices and advanced communication systems.
In terms of mounting scheme, Surface Mount Technology (SMT) is expected to dominate the industry due to its advantages in terms of miniaturization, cost-effectiveness, and compatibility with automated assembly processes, making it ideal for high-volume manufacturing in consumer electronics and telecommunications. On the other hand, the Through-Hole segment, while less dominant, will continue to grow steadily, particularly in applications requiring high reliability and durability, such as industrial and automotive electronics. This growth is driven by the demand for robust components in harsh environments where through-hole mounting provides superior mechanical strength.
Based on application, the Telecom & Networking segment is expected to dominate the industry, driven by the rising demand for high-frequency devices and the rollout of 5G networks requiring precise timing solutions. Meanwhile, the Automotive segment is projected to experience significant growth due to the increasing integration of crystal oscillators in advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) and vehicle connectivity features.
