Infineon strengthens Sensor and Radio Frequency portfolio with new business unit to drive profitable growth

Infineon Technologies AG (FSE: IFX / OTCQX: IFNNY), a leader in power, automotive and IoT semiconductors, announced the formation of a new business unit to drive the company’s growth in the area of sensors by combining the existing Sensor and Radio Frequency (RF) businesses into one dedicated organization. The new business unit SURF (Sensor Units & Radio Frequency) will be part of the Power & Sensor Systems (PSS) division and include the former Automotive and Multi-market Sense & Control businesses.

By combining its sensor and RF expertise, Infineon strengthens its competitiveness and go-to-market approach by leveraging cost and R&D synergies accelerating innovation and value to customers. This strategic move will capitalize on the vast market potential of the sensor and RF markets, projected to exceed 20 billion US-Dollars by 2027*. The new business unit became effective on 1 January 2025.

“With the new business unit, we are addressing the growing demand for sensors and RF solutions, driven by trends such as green energy, clean and safe mobility, and smart and secure IoT,” says Dr. Thomas Schafbauer, Head of SURF business unit at Infineon. “Our dedicated business unit for sensors and RF allows for the expansion of our sales activities and combines our innovation capabilities, offering even more differentiated system solutions for our automotive, consumer and industrial customers.”

With devices attaining higher levels of intelligence and autonomy, sensor semiconductors are becoming ubiquitous components in connecting the real and digital world: Human Machine Interfaces (HMI) and ambient monitors allow for context-aware devices; Infineon’s microphones based on high-end microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) already play a crucial role in smartphones, wearables, and smart speakers, enabling AI-based language solutions for enhanced consumer experience; Infineon radar solutions enable reliable object recognition e.g. in autonomous driving; And in electric cars and industrial automation, Infineon’s magnetic sensors are key enablers for controlling motion precisely and its current sensors allow for better energy-efficiency in power inverters and batteries.
