Infineon Technologies AG announced that it has entered into an agreement to acquire the non-optical analog/mixed-signal sensor portfolio from ams OSRAM Group. The transaction carries a purchase price of €570 million on a debt-free and cash-free basis. The acquired business is expected to generate approximately €230 million in revenue during calendar year 2026. Infineon stated that the deal will be accretive to earnings per share immediately upon closing, with additional value expected from future synergies.
As part of the agreement, around 230 employees specializing in research and development and business management will transfer to Infineon's Sensors and RF business unit. The deal also includes a multi-year supply agreement with ams OSRAM.
The acquisition is structured as a fabless asset deal, encompassing sensor products, R&D capabilities, intellectual property, and test and lab equipment. It remains subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals, with completion anticipated in the second quarter of calendar year 2026. Infineon plans to fund the purchase through additional debt under its general corporate financing arrangements.
Infineon indicated that the move expands its sensor offerings and reinforces its position in automotive and industrial markets, while extending its presence in medical applications. The acquired portfolio includes leading products in medical imaging and sensor interfaces, such as X-ray solutions and sensors for valve control, building control technology, and metering. It also covers positioning and temperature sensors for high-precision applications, including chassis position sensing and hands-on detection in vehicles, angle and position sensing for robotics, and glucose monitoring.
Jochen Hanebeck, CEO of Infineon, described the acquired business as a strategic fit that complements the company's analog and sensor offerings, enabling more comprehensive system solutions for customers. He noted potential growth opportunities in existing markets and emerging areas such as humanoid robotics.
Sensors convert physical signals—including movement, sound, temperature, and strain—into processable data, supporting applications in software-defined vehicles, health trackers, and physical AI systems. The broader sensor and radio frequency market is projected to surpass $20 billion by 2027.
The acquisition aligns with Infineon's strategy to expand its sensor business, following the establishment of its Sensor Units & Radio Frequency (SURF) unit within the Power & Sensor Systems division in January 2025. This supports the company's focus on integrated portfolios in analog and sensors, power, and control and connectivity.
