Infineon Strengthens Global MCU Leadership with Innovation in SDVs, AI, and Secure Connectivity

Infineon Technologies AG (FSE: IFX / OTCQX: IFNNY) has further strengthened its leadership in the global microcontroller market. According to the latest research by Omdia, the company is expected to achieve a 23.2% market share in 2025, up from 21.4% in 2024—an increase of 1.8 percentage points, representing the strongest growth among its competitors. Notably, this gain comes at a time when the overall microcontroller market is projected to decline slightly by 0.3%.

“This outstanding performance reflects our ongoing commitment to accelerating innovation, delivering superior system solutions, and building strong customer relationships,” said Andreas Urschitz, Chief Marketing Officer and Member of the Management Board at Infineon. “With our broad product portfolio, robust software, and user-friendly development tools, we enable customers to create value while addressing global challenges such as decarbonization and digital transformation. Continuous investment in technology and close collaboration with global partners allow us to outperform the market. Ethernet connectivity will also support further growth in our microcontroller business, particularly in the software-defined vehicle domain.”

Infineon first became the global leader in the microcontroller market in 2024, after already securing the top position in automotive microcontrollers the previous year. In August 2025, the company successfully acquired the automotive Ethernet business of Marvell Technology—a strategic milestone that further reinforces its market leadership. The acquisition expands Infineon’s advanced connectivity portfolio and strengthens its system capabilities for centralized computing architectures in software-defined vehicles (SDVs). By combining the industry-leading BRIGHTLANE automotive Ethernet portfolio with its AURIX, PSOC, and TRAVEO automotive MCU families, Infineon is delivering comprehensive system solutions that enable autonomous driving, advanced driver assistance systems, and secure over-the-air software updates.

Beyond automotive applications, Infineon microcontrollers are also enabling the development of physical AI systems such as humanoid robots. The company’s AURIX, PSOC, and MOTIX MCUs allow humanoid robots to safely perceive their environment, process data in real time, and interact intelligently with surrounding objects. These capabilities support advanced computing, motion execution, motor control, connectivity, and intelligent edge processing.

Infineon provides key functional building blocks for humanoid robotics, helping customers move from concept development to mass production across industrial, service, and consumer applications. Through its scalable and energy-efficient PSOC portfolio, the company continues to expand its presence in both industrial and consumer markets, supporting applications such as smart home systems, industrial control equipment, and IoT devices.

Cybersecurity remains a critical requirement across connected systems—from IoT devices and connected vehicles to industrial infrastructure, AI applications, and robotics. Infineon microcontrollers are therefore designed with future-oriented security capabilities throughout the entire product lifecycle to protect data, identities, and system integrity. For example, the latest generations of AURIX and TRAVEO MCUs comply with international security standards such as ISO/SAE 21434 for automotive cybersecurity. The company is also developing architectures aligned with emerging regulatory and technological requirements, including the EU Cyber Resilience Act and Post‑Quantum Cryptography, which are already being implemented in the latest industrial and consumer PSOC devices as well as automotive-grade AURIX and TRAVEO MCUs.

Infineon will showcase its future-oriented innovations at Embedded World 2026, taking place from March 10 to 12 in Nuremberg, Germany. At the event, the company will present its comprehensive portfolio of industrial, consumer, and automotive microcontrollers, highlighting advancements in security, connectivity, and intelligent system design.
