Infineon Technologies, takes over the number one position in the global microcontroller market. According to the latest research by Omdia [1], the company increased its market share to 21.3 percent in 2024 (2023: 17.8 percent), achieving the largest year-over-year gain (3.5 percentage points) among its competitors. This makes Infineon the most successful supplier of microcontrollers worldwide for the first time in the company’s history.
“The fact that we have strengthened our position is proof of our superior product portfolio, software and easy-to-use development tools that exceed our customers’ expectations,” says Andreas Urschitz, Chief Marketing Officer and Member of the Management Board at Infineon. “Over the past decade, we have repeatedly outgrown the total market and gained market share by offering our customers highly functional and efficient system solutions that are at the heart of many innovations that drive decarbonization and digitalization.”
Infineon outpaced the market over the past years. Since 2015, Infineon’s microcontroller business increased by an average of 13.0 percent per year, while the overall market grew by only 4.0 percent annually. In 2023, Infineon climbed to the global number one position in the market for automotive microcontrollers for the first time. Now, the company has achieved the same in the overall microcontroller market, all end markets combined. According to Omdia, the total market volume of global microcontroller sales in 2024 was $22.4 billion, after $28.0 billion in 2023.
Microcontrollers act as the brains of numerous applications, from automotive systems that make cars clean, safe, and smart, to IoT devices that change the way we live, work and interact, and industrial machinery that drives productivity. Infineon’s microcontroller portfolio addresses the needs of these applications with a variety of established product families, such as AURIX, TRAVEO, PSOC, XMC, and security microcontrollers.
At Embedded World 2025, one of the leading international trade fairs dedicated to embedded systems technology, Infineon is showcasing its existing portfolio as well as an ambitious innovations roadmap. This includes, for example, the launch of a new automotive microcontroller family based on RISC-V under the AURIX brand within the coming years. This new family will extend Infineon’s existing core portfolio, which is based on TriCore and Arm. Infineon is the first semiconductor company to announce a RISC-V-basedmicrocontroller dedicated to the automotive market. The new family will address the complex computing requirements of software-defined vehicles.
Furthermore, Infineon presents several innovations in its PSOC multi-purpose family, ranging from the latest advancements in Power and Motor Control with the new PSOC Control family to the enablement of CRA-ready Edge AI with PSOC Edge. Infineon also highlights the newest features of the PSOC 4 microcontroller family. By expanding leading capacitive sensing with all-new inductive and liquid sensing technologies in a single MCU, Infineon enables new use cases and a higher level of integration.
