On February 5, 2026, Infineon Technologies AG announced the acquisition of ams OSRAM AG’s non-optical analog/mixed-signal sensor product portfolio, further expanding its sensor business. The two parties have reached an agreement, with the transaction valued at €570 million on a debt-free and cash-free basis.
This proposed acquisition will enable Infineon to further complement and optimize its product portfolio, consolidate its leading position in the automotive and industrial sensor markets, and expand its product matrix for healthcare applications. The acquired business is expected to generate approximately €230 million in revenue for Infineon in 2026 and inject new momentum into the company’s profitable growth. The transaction is anticipated to be accretive to earnings per share immediately upon completion, and the synergies created in the future are expected to deliver significant additional value. As part of the acquisition, around 230 employees with expertise in R&D and business management will join Infineon. In addition, Infineon has signed a multi-year supply agreement with ams OSRAM.
Jochen Hanebeck, Chief Executive Officer of Infineon Technologies, stated: "The business to be acquired is highly aligned with Infineon’s development strategy and strongly complements our existing leading product portfolio in the analog and sensor fields. We will be able to provide customers with more comprehensive system-level solutions. We firmly believe this is an excellent integration in terms of technology, business and culture, which will not only bring growth opportunities for the company in our current target markets but also support our expansion into emerging areas such as humanoid robots."
The transaction is structured as a fabless asset deal, covering sensor products, R&D capabilities, intellectual property rights, as well as testing and laboratory equipment. Subject to regulatory approvals and the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, the acquisition is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2026. Infineon will finance the acquisition through additional debt financing in line with the company’s overall funding plan.
As a bridge connecting the physical and digital worlds, sensors detect and convert signals such as motion, sound, light waves, temperature, even heartbeats and strain into processable data. Therefore, sensors play a core role in numerous applications including software-defined vehicles, health monitoring, and physical AI such as humanoid robots. By 2027, the potential scale of the global sensor and RF market is projected to exceed USD 20 billion.
The acquired mixed-signal product business will add leading medical imaging and sensor interface solutions to Infineon’s portfolio, including X-ray solutions and sensors for valve control, building control technology and metrology applications. The acquired positioning and temperature sensor assets will enhance Infineon’s ability to deliver high-precision positioning, capacitive sensing and temperature sensing solutions for the automotive, industrial and healthcare sectors, with specific applications covering vehicle chassis position detection, steering wheel hands-off detection, robot joint angle and position detection, as well as blood glucose monitoring.
This acquisition is fully aligned with Infineon’s strategy to expand its sensor business. In January 2025, Infineon established the Sensor and RF (SURF) business unit within its Power and Sensor Systems (PSS) division. This is highly consistent with the company’s strategy to build a strong, interconnected product portfolio across three core domains – Analog & Sensors, Power, and Control & Connectivity – to provide customers with comprehensive system-level solutions.
