On April 15th, reports emerged indicating that Cao Yanfei, Senior Vice President of Infineon Technologies and Head of the Automotive Business in the Greater China region, disclosed at the 2026 High-Level Forum on the Development of Intelligent Electric Vehicles that Infineon's market share in the MCU (Microcontroller Unit) sector surged to 36% last year. Furthermore, the company is actively pushing forward the development of automotive-grade MCUs based on the RISC-V architecture.

Infineon has outlined a strategic plan to collaborate with local wafer fabrication facilities and packaging and testing plants in 2027. This collaboration aims to achieve localized front-end and back-end production of 40-nanometer AURIX^TM TC3x series MCUs, as well as 28-nanometer automotive radar sensors. In the realm of power devices, Infineon has decided to expedite the localized mass production of 40V MOSFETs (Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistors) to 2026. Additionally, the mass production timeline for the 40V MOSFET SSO8 has been brought forward from the originally scheduled 2027 to 2026.

Currently, Infineon has forged innovation application centers in partnership with over 10 leading OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers) and Tier-1 customers. These centers are dedicated to accelerating the deployment of customized system-level solutions.
