Clock Buffer Market Key Players and Opportunities by 2028

The clock buffer market size is projected to reach US$ 3,579.91 million by 2028 from US$ 2,112.53 million in 2021; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 8.0% from 2022 to 2028.

The global clock buffer market based on geography is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Middle East & Africa, and South America. In 2021, North America led the clock buffer market analysis with 40.5% share, followed by Asia Pacific and Europe.

In recent years, the demand for cloud computing has been witnessing significant growth, which has surged the penetration of the internet. Therefore, many FDIs are investing massive capital in North America, which positively impacts cloud computing. The US government has taken many initiatives to boost the consumer electronics industry. For instance, on May 6, 2022, the US government proposed a new bipartisan proposal to fuel the country’s printed circuit board (PCB) sector. Many established companies in the electronics manufacturing industry in the US have welcomed the proposal. The bill will support the CHIPS Act of 2021 and American Printed Circuit Boards Act of 2022. As a result, the key operating players in the North America clock buffer market would experience lucrative opportunities in the coming years.

The clock buffer market in Asia Pacific is segmented into India, China, Japan, Australia, and the rest of Asia Pacific. Many governments in the region have been forced to revise their approaches to purchase upgraded devices, such as desktops, laptops, and personal computers, and general-purpose server equipment from designated suppliers and manufacturers due to the COVID-19 crisis. Thus, the demand for other communications systems, such as routers, modems, wire, and wireless electronics systems (panels), and other peripherals is rising, which has created many lucrative opportunities for the key vendors operating the clock buffer market. In India, the information, communication, and technology services and solutions providers have shifted their business models to remote working due to the onset of the COVID-19 crisis. Further, the schools and colleges continued to operate remotely in 2022, making the need for a computing device critical for students. Some students who previously used smartphones/tablets for virtual classes have switched to PCs as it offers benefits such as larger screens and ease of use, positively impacting the clock buffer market.

Clock Buffer Market: Strategic Insights

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Clock Buffer Market

Owing to the favorable government policies to boost innovation and reinforce infrastructure capabilities, North America has the highest acceptance and development rate of emerging technologies. As per CBRE's North American Data Center Trends Report 2020, the region’s data center sector was strong in the first half of 2020 due to the implementation of hybrid IT infrastructure by the organizations to develop remote working capabilities. The COVID-19 pandemic in North America has forced companies to implement work-from-home (WFH) strategy to continue business processes during the crisis, which bolstered the demand for big data and data analytics. In 2020, companies explored AI applications and big data analytics to provide insights for users to plan resource use for specific challenges in medical science and proposed a health model based on AI and big data analytics. However, from the Q1 of 2021, the supply lines of the automotive and electronics industry started to stabilize, and revenue of these industries showcased positive momentum, which subsequently propelled the clock buffer market growth in North America.
