Infineon Technologies consolidates its Sensor and RF businesses under the new SURF unit, unlocking synergies to capitalize on a $20B market opportunity by 2027.
Infineon Technologies AG has announced a strategic reorganization to boost its presence in the growing sensor and radio frequency (RF) markets. Effective January 1, 2025, the company launched the new SURF (Sensor Units & Radio Frequency) business unit, combining its Sensor and RF divisions into a single entity under its Power & Sensor Systems (PSS) division.
This move aims to enhance Infineon’s competitiveness and innovation capabilities while leveraging cost and R&D synergies. The combined expertise positions Infineon to seize opportunities in a market projected to exceed $20 billion by 2027.
Dr. Thomas Schafbauer, Head of the SURF unit, stated, “The growing demand for sensors and RF solutions is fueled by trends such as green energy, clean mobility, and smart IoT. With this dedicated unit, we expand our sales activities and innovation pipeline to deliver even more differentiated system solutions for automotive, consumer, and industrial applications.”
Sensors are integral to connecting the physical and digital worlds as devices become increasingly intelligent and autonomous. Infineon’s cutting-edge solutions include:
- Human-Machine Interfaces (HMI): MEMS-based microphones power AI-driven voice recognition in smart devices like wearables and speakers.
- Radar Solutions: Reliable object recognition for autonomous vehicles.
- Electric Vehicles and Automation: Magnetic sensors enable precise motion control, while current sensors improve energy efficiency in batteries and power inverters.
The company’s strategic consolidation reflects its focus on addressing high-growth sectors, including clean energy, IoT, and advanced mobility. This bold step ensures its leadership in enabling smarter, safer, and more sustainable solutions across industries.
