Dublin, Jan. 27, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The “Clock Buffer Market Report 2026” has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering. The report provides comprehensive insights into industry statistics, including market size, regional dynamics, competitor analysis, and emerging trends.
The clock buffer market, a pivotal segment in consumer electronics and various industrial applications, is poised for substantial growth. The market size, which stood at $2.65 billion in 2025, is projected to increase to $2.87 billion in 2026, marking a consistent compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.6%. This robust growth during the initial phases is due to the rapid uptake in consumer electronics, burgeoning demands from industrial automation sectors, and advancements in telecommunication circuits and defense systems.
Looking ahead, the clock buffer market is expected to reach $3.97 billion by 2030, with a slightly adjusted CAGR of 8.4%. This forecasted expansion is driven by escalating requirements for low-jitter timing solutions and heightened activity in high-frequency communication systems. Additionally, the growth is bolstered by increasing integration into data centers, synchronized industrial automation, and advancements in semiconductor timing architectures. Key trends include the integration of intelligent timing systems and IoT-enhanced synchronization technologies, as well as the development of AI-based jitter optimization.
The surge in smartphone usage is a crucial driver of this market. Clock buffers, which are integral in generating periodic signals for electronic devices like smartphones, underscore the rising demand. As of May 2024, smartphone adoption reached a global user base of 4.88 billion, according to BankMyCell, indicating a significant year-over-year increase of 14.9%. The current landscape reveals approximately 7.21 billion active smartphones globally, contributing to the vibrant demand for clock buffers.
Innovation remains at the forefront as leading firms in the clock buffer market focus on product development. For instance, Renesas Electronics Corporation unveiled the Gen 3 RCD in June 2023, showcasing DDR5 memory interfaces designed for enhanced speed capabilities. This advancement is targeted at dual inline memory modules, motherboards, and embedded applications, affirming Renesas’ commitment to cutting-edge clock buffer technology.
In a strategic move, SiTime Corporation acquired Aura Semiconductor in November 2023 for $148 million. This acquisition aims to enhance SiTime’s product lineup in clocking and timing markets and expand its intellectual property portfolio. This initiative will also enable the integration of oscillators and clocks to deliver superior precision timing solutions across communications, data centers, and AI applications. Aura Semiconductor, based in India, is known for its expertise in designing mixed-signal integrated circuit solutions.
