Infineon Technologies AG has risen to the top of the global microcontroller market, achieving a 21.3% market share in 2024, up from 17.8% in 2023. This marks a significant milestone for the company, as it claims the top position for the first time in its history, with a year-over-year gain of 3.5 percentage points, the largest increase among its competitors, according to recent data from Omdia.
Andreas Urschitz, Chief Marketing Officer and Management Board Member at Infineon, shared, “Our strengthened position highlights the strength of our product offerings, software, and user-friendly development tools that exceed customer expectations. Over the last decade, we have consistently outpaced the market, gaining share by providing customers with highly efficient, functional solutions that are key to driving innovation in areas like decarbonization and digitalization.”
Infineon has consistently outperformed the market in recent years. Since 2015, its microcontroller business has grown at an average annual rate of 13%, far surpassing the overall market growth of 4%. In 2023, Infineon secured the top spot in the global automotive microcontroller market for the first time, and now it has achieved the same position in the overall microcontroller market.
The total global microcontroller market in 2024 is valued at $22.4 billion, down from $28.0 billion in 2023, as reported by Omdia. Microcontrollers are essential components in various applications, from automotive systems that enhance vehicle safety, efficiency, and intelligence, to IoT devices transforming everyday life, and industrial machinery improving productivity. Infineon’s diverse microcontroller portfolio serves these needs, with popular product families like AURIX™, TRAVEO™, PSOC™, XMC™, and security microcontrollers.
At Embedded World 2025, a leading international trade fair for embedded systems, Infineon will present both its current offerings and an ambitious roadmap for future innovations. This includes a new automotive microcontroller family based on RISC-V architecture under the AURIX brand, set to launch in the coming years.
This new family will complement Infineon’s existing product range, which currently includes TriCore™ and Arm®-based solutions. Infineon is the first semiconductor company to announce a RISC-V-based microcontroller specifically designed for the automotive market, addressing the complex demands of software-defined vehicles.
Additionally, Infineon will showcase several advancements in its PSOC multi-purpose family, including the latest developments in Power and Motor Control with the new PSOC Control family, as well as PSOC Edge, which enables CRA-ready Edge AI. The company will also highlight new features in the PSOC 4 microcontroller family, which now integrates both capacitive and inductive liquid sensing technologies, expanding the range of potential applications and enhancing integration.
Infineon Technologies AG is a global leader in semiconductors, particularly in power systems and IoT solutions, driving progress in decarbonization and digitalization. The company employs around 58,060 people worldwide and generated approximately €15 billion in revenue for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2024. Infineon is listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (IFX) and OTCQX International in the USA (IFNNY).
