Infineon Maintains Global Leadership in Automotive Semiconductor Market with Strategic Regional Growth
In a significant demonstration of market dominance, Infineon Technologies has reinforced its position as the preeminent leader in the global automotive semiconductor industry, while simultaneously strengthening its regional market presence and maintaining its exceptional performance in the microcontroller segment.
Recent market analysis from TechInsights reveals Infineon's commanding position with a 13.5 percent share of the global automotive semiconductor market in 2024. The company's strategic focus on regional expansion has yielded remarkable results, particularly in Europe, where it has ascended to the premier position with a 14.1 percent market share, advancing from its previous second-place ranking in 2023. In North America, Infineon has demonstrated substantial progress, securing the second position with a 10.4 percent market share, improving from its third-place standing in the previous year. The company's expertise in microcontroller technology has further solidified, achieving an impressive 32.0 percent global market share and extending its advantage over the nearest competitor by 2.7 percentage points.
In the Asian markets, Infineon has maintained its strategic stronghold. The company continues to lead in China, the world's largest automotive semiconductor market, with a robust 13.9 percent market share. Similarly, in South Korea, Infineon maintains its market leadership with a substantial 17.7 percent share. The company's performance in Japan remains formidable, maintaining its second-place position with a 13.2 percent market share. These achievements are particularly noteworthy given the slight contraction in the global automotive semiconductor market, which decreased by 1.2 percent from US$ 69.2 billion in 2023 to US$ 68.4 billion in 2024.
"We are the global number one in automotive semiconductors for the fifth consecutive year and we are equally successful across the world. For the first time in our history, Infineon is among the top two automotive semiconductor companies in every region,"
Infineon's technological portfolio plays a crucial role in advancing automotive innovation, particularly in the critical areas of vehicle digitalization and decarbonization. The company's semiconductor solutions are integral to the development of cleaner, safer, and more intelligent vehicles. Their comprehensive product range addresses key automotive applications, encompassing advanced driver assistance and safety systems, sophisticated powertrain and battery management solutions, and enhanced comfort and infotainment features.
A strategic priority for Infineon is supporting the transformation of electrical/electronic (E/E) vehicle architectures, facilitating the transition toward more centralized zonal designs essential for software-defined vehicles. This evolution demands cutting-edge connectivity capabilities, robust data security protocols, intelligent power distribution systems, and advanced real-time computing capabilities.
