In 2010, Databeans Inc projects that total revenue for timing devices will reach $5.4 billion, a 10 percent jump from 2009. This marks the first time that the segment has reached the $5 billion threshold. Much of this comes from the usual high demand of traditional crystal oscillators but with increased sales in different silicon segments and new technologies gaining traction, timing devices are projected to dramatically grow over the next 5 years.

Timing devices are used in a wide variety of applications including various consumer electronic devices, computers, and communication systems. The most common timing device is made of quartz crystal with its high level of accuracy and quality, makes up a significant portion of the market. Databeans projects revenue for crystal oscillator timing devices to be $2.4 billion.

A major contributor to the jump in revenue comes from the increased usage of integrated circuit timing devices, most notably PLL's MEM's and CMOS oscillators. PLL's which have enjoyed a large chunk of the market from some time and will continue to grow at a steady pace, While MEM's and CMOS oscillators are just beginning to gain traction with customers. Databeans projects these two sectors to show extremely high in growth over the next 5 years with MEM's Growing from $32 million in 2010 to $159 million by 2015, a 189 percent growth. Likewise, CMOS oscillators are projected to make only $5 million in 2010, but jump to $189 million by 2015.

With the increased growth in both the MEM's and CMOS oscillator segment Databeans expects that these two products will begin to replace traditional crystal oscillators, and consequently begin to take away market share.
