• Rising Adoption of the Internet of Things (IoT) and Connected Devices – The increasing adoption rate of IoT devices as per the survey in 2021 was reported to be more than 30% to 32%.

Challenges

• High Cost of Crystals used in the Crystal Oscillators
• Limited Turning Range of Crystal Oscillators
• Highly Prone to Interferences and Poor Frequency Stability – The signal level of the crystal oscillators is fixed and an outlet level has to be chosen which is suitable for the proper performance. The flexibility is very poor and the crystal oscillators are expensive as per the market analysis. Also, the start-up tie is very long in quartz oscillators which limits the growth of the market during the forecast period.
