Abstract
The markets for piezoelectric crystal products are characterized by price
competition, rapid technological change, short product life cycles, and
heightened global competition. Due to the increasing requirements for
high-speed, high-frequency components as well as the entry of new competitors
to the large market, there is intensified competition among existing crystal
device suppliers..
The global piezoelectric crystal industry has gone through several
boom-and-bust cycles. However, in the last five years, several applications
have emerged for piezoelectric materials because of the new revolution in
wireless and wire line communications. Markets have boomed in these areas
especially for piezoelectric crystals. In addition, new developments in
piezoelectric ceramics and ceramic/polymer composites have evolved new
applications and markets. However, piezoelectric quartz crystals and crystal
devices still hold a large market segment, and with the boom in the wireless
industry, the average market growth rate reached double digits in the last
five years.
STUDY GOAL AND OBJECTIVES
This study focuses on key piezoelectric crystal devices and provides data
about the size and growth of the piezoelectric crystal devices markets,
company profiles and industry trends. The goal of this report is to provide a
detailed and comprehensive multi-client study of the markets in North America,
Europe, Japan, China, Korea and the rest of the world (ROW) for piezoelectric
crystal devices, as well as potential business opportunities in the future.
The report covers the global market, industry structure, competition, profiles
of leading manufacturing companies, and a patent analysis.
The objectives include thorough coverage of underlying economic issues driving
the piezoelectric crystal device business, as well as assessments of new,
advanced piezoelectric crystal devices that are being developed. Another
important objective is to provide realistic market data and forecasts for
piezoelectric crystal devices. This study provides the most thorough and
up-to-date assessment that can be found anywhere on the subject. The study
also provides extensive quantification of the many important facets of
worldwide market development in piezoelectric devices. This, in turn,
contributes to a determination of the kinds of strategic responses companies
may adopt in order to compete in these dynamic markets.
Users of piezoelectric crystal devices in developed markets must contend with
twin pressures: to innovate and, at the same time, to reduce costs. New
applications for piezoelectric crystal devices have been proposed in recent
years. This study condenses all of these business related issues and
opportunities.
This report has been prepared to:
- provide an overview of the various piezoelectric quartz crystals and
devices, and their production technologies and applications;
- identify the technological and business issues related to the commercial
applications of piezoelectric quartz crystals and crystal devices;
- analyze the domestic and foreign competition among companies within each
segment of the market for piezoelectric quartz crystals and devices;
- determine the current size and future growth of the markets for
piezoelectric quartz crystals and devices;
- determine the current size and future growth of the markets for
piezoelectric non-quartz single crystals;
- ascertain which piezoelectric technologies and applications will be
winners until the year 2012;
- identify and profile Japanese, European, North American, Chinese, Korean
and "rest of world" producers and suppliers of piezoelectric crystals and
crystal devices.
REASONS FOR DOING THE STUDY
The piezoelectric devices market is a diversified but attractive and
still-growing multi-billion dollar market characterized by very high
production volumes of a diversified range of piezoelectric devices that must
be both extremely reliable and low in cost. Growth in the piezoelectric
devices market continues to be driven by increasing demands in camera phones
for autofocus mechanisms, piezo-transformers, energy harvesting devices, data
storage, semiconductors, microelectronics production, precision mechanics,
life science and medical technology, optics, photonics, nano-metrology,
robots, toys, HVAC control systems, hand held consumer electronic devices,
automotives sensors, ultrasonic transducers for medical imaging and
non-destructive testing and vibration related applications, structure health
monitoring, ultrasonic welding and cleaning, ceramic resonators for mobile
phones and devices used for information and communication technologies.
The diversified piezoelectric crystal and crystal device business is complex
and fast moving, with manufacturers increasingly adopting a truly global view
of the market. Traditional piezoelectric devices have a broad customer base,
and new applications have also emerging for these devices.
With this background of new emerging applications, iRAP felt a need to conduct
a detailed study and update technology developments and markets. The report
identifies and evaluates piezoelectric crystals and crystal devices and
technologies which show potential growth.

REPORT SUMMARY
The emergence of wireless communications and the increased need for data
transmission using wireline communications has created a booming market for
piezoelectric quartz crystals and crystal devices. Several new industrial and
consumer applications have emerged, steering the industry from over-dependence
on military demand to commercial applications.
In high bandwidth systems, data transfer needs to be synchronized, creating a
high demand for timing products. Crystal devices provide the precise timing
signals needed to ensure reliable data transfer at high speeds in applications
ranging from notebook computers to network switches. As systems continue to
grow in processing power and complexity, the demand for these products will
accelerate. The demand for higher precision will also continue to increase as
timing margins shrink in higher bandwidth systems. New high-end cell phone
applications require low voltage, small packages and very low resistance to
provide the highest fidelity sound. These mobile phones also offer functions
beyond simple voice communication, including PDAs, digital still cameras and
digital media players, with very low power consumption for extended battery
life and increased need for coordination among functions.
The continuing increase in electronic sophistication, as well as the
penetration and proliferation of electronic products into new consumer and
commercial applications, puts new demands on frequency control devices. This
creates both technological challenges and new business opportunities for
products offering faster speeds, higher stability relative to temperature,
smaller surface-mountable packaging and lower unit cost.
In the 1980s, Japan was the world leader in mass-produced piezoelectric
crystals and crystal devices. However, in the later part of the 1990s, the
balance shifted, with China and Korea taking over the low-end products. Japan
still supplies the expensive and high-end products. At present, Japan and
Korea are supplying quartz devices for microprocessor products and extended
temperature products. China is supplying large quantities of low end products
for such application as toys and games.
