• Over 30 billion sensors sold to date, with the sensor market projected to grow from $49B in 2025 to $57B in 2028.

• Recent MEMS acquisition strengthens technology portfolio and shifts MEMS revenue mix to 41% automotive, 30% personal electronics, 18% industrial, and 15% computing/peripherals.

• Now ranked #2 in MEMS globally, with enhanced exposure to automotive and industrial markets.

• Automotive, industrial, consumer IoT, and healthcare are key growth drivers, with increasing sensor content per device.

Technology and Product Leadership

• Holds leading positions in MEMS (motion, pressure, actuators) and imaging (CMOS, Time-of-Flight, global shutter, metasurface optics), with proprietary technologies like in-sensor AI, hybrid bonding, and advanced sensor fusion.

• Intelligent MEMS and imaging sensors process data locally, reducing latency and energy use, and improving privacy.

• Advanced sensors integrate ISPU and 32-bit MCUs, with new generations adding neural network accelerators.

• Manufacturing is largely in-house, spanning front-end and back-end, leveraging proprietary process technologies and a global footprint for resilience and quality.

• Node migration to 90nm for digital logic in sensors will be done in-house, aiming to increase computational capabilities without shrinking analog portions.

Innovation and Strategic Initiatives

• Intelligent sensors and edge AI are central to the strategy, enabling real-time data processing and energy efficiency.

• Imaging business is expanding into automotive (driver monitoring), industrial (robotics, smart home), AR/VR, humanoids, and security.

• Sensor portfolio supports applications in energy transition, automotive safety, health, IoT, and industrial automation.

• No immediate need for external M&A for technology; current in-house IP and analog/digital capabilities are sufficient.

• Strong technology and product roadmaps, proprietary manufacturing, and deep engineering expertise underpin market positioning.
