WDI's guest contribution in E&E
We were asked to analyse and assess the development of the quartz and oscillators market for the 2008/2009 edition of the E&E Kompendium. With ten approved suppliers currently offering frequency-control components, WDI has developed to become one of the leading players in this product segment in recent years.
The market for frequency-control products, also known as the quartz and oscillators market, remains a niche market. Yet, with world-wide turnover estimated at USD 4.8 billion in 2007, this is not as small and insignificant as many would have it.Download PDF
