Europe Discrete Semiconductor Industry Overview
The Europe discrete semiconductor market is fragmented and consists of several players. Companies in the market continuously try to increase their market presence by introducing new products, expanding their operations, or entering into strategic acquisitions and mergers, partnerships, and collaborations. Some of the major vendors include ABB Ltd., Infineon Technologies AG, STMicroelectronics NV, NXP Semiconductors NV, Eaton Corporation PLC, and many more.
• In June 2024, Onsemi planned to invest a maximum of USD 2 billion over several years to strengthen the advanced power semiconductor supply chain for its European and global customers. The company intends to construct a vertically integrated silicon carbide (SiC) manufacturing facility in the Czech Republic. This plant is expected to specialize in producing Onsemi's essential intelligent power semiconductors, which are vital in improving energy efficiency in electric vehicles, renewable energy systems, and AI data centers.
• In May 2024, Infineon Technologies broadened its SiC MOSFET development to cover voltages under 650 V. The CoolSiCMOSFET 400 V family's latest addition is based on the second-generation (G2) technology and was launched earlier this year. This new lineup of MOSFETs is tailored explicitly for the AC/DC stage of AI servers, which aligns with Infineon's recent PSU roadmap. Apart from server applications, these devices are also suitable for inverter motor control, solar and energy storage systems, SMPS, and solid-state circuit breakers in residential environments.
