Munich, 21 August 2018 – Global energy demand is constantly growing. Drivers include electrification in industry, mobility and private consumption, as well as the rising number of consumers. This increases the demand for efficient power semiconductors. These are used wherever electrical power is generated, transmitted or used by the consumer. Devices, machinery and systems are thus managed as efficiently as possible. For 2017, industry analyst IHS Markit confirms Infineon Technologies AG as the global market leader for power semiconductors.

In the overall market, which also includes power ICs, Infineon remained the lead and achieved the biggest organic growth across the industry. In the submarket for discretes and modules, Infineon has been confirmed number one for the fifteenth time in a row, increased its market share and is now more than double the size of the company in second place. In the market for discrete IGBTs, Infineon is now more than three times the size of the next smaller competitor. Infineon made the next big leap in IPMs: The company increased its market share by 1.4 percentage points – more than all the competitors. In addition, at 39.2 percent, Infineon grew almost two times faster than the market (20.1 percent).

Power semiconductors help to efficiently generate and convert power from wind turbines and photovoltaic systems. The power is then provided to home appliances, notebooks or data centers among others with minimum losses. That saves resources and ensures a sustainable power supply.
