Infineon Technologies AG has reached the top of the global microcontroller market, securing a 21.3% market share in 2024. This is a significant increase from 17.8% in 2023. It is the first time the company has achieved this position, marking a growth of 3.5 percentage points from the previous year. According to Omdia data, Infineon’s gain is the largest among its competitors.
Andreas Urschitz, Chief Marketing Officer and Management Board Member at Infineon, said, “Our strong position shows the effectiveness of our products, software, and development tools, which surpass customer expectations. Over the past decade, we have consistently grown faster than the market, offering efficient and functional solutions that drive innovation in decarbonization and digitalization.”
Infineon has outpaced the market for several years. Since 2015, its microcontroller business has grown by an average of 13% annually, compared to the market’s overall growth of just 4%. In 2023, the company took the lead in the global automotive microcontroller market for the first time and has now achieved the same success in the overall microcontroller market.
The global microcontroller market is valued at $22.4 billion in 2024, a decrease from $28.0 billion in 2023, according to Omdia. Microcontrollers play a key role in many industries, including automotive, IoT devices, and industrial machinery. Infineon’s broad range of microcontroller products, such as AURIX™, TRAVEO™, PSOC™, XMC™, and security microcontrollers, meet the needs of these sectors.
At Embedded World 2025, a major international trade fair for embedded systems, Infineon will showcase its current products and future innovations. One of the highlights will be a new automotive microcontroller family based on RISC-V architecture, which will be launched under the AURIX brand in the coming years.
This new family will expand Infineon’s existing portfolio, which includes TriCore™ and Arm®-based solutions. Infineon is the first semiconductor company to introduce a RISC-V-based microcontroller specifically for the automotive market, aimed at meeting the needs of software-defined vehicles.
In addition, Infineon will present advancements in its PSOC multi-purpose family. This includes new features in Power and Motor Control with the PSOC Control family and PSOC Edge, which supports CRA-ready Edge AI. The company will also introduce updates to the PSOC 4 microcontroller family, which now includes both capacitive and inductive liquid sensing technologies, broadening its application potential.
Infineon Technologies AG is a leading global semiconductor company, known for its expertise in power systems and IoT solutions, and for advancing decarbonization and digitalization. The company employs around 58,060 people worldwide and reported 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).
