Integrated Micro-Electronics, Inc. strengthens its position in the automotive electronics market, reflecting increased demand for advanced systems in Europe.

Strategic Market Position

As of 2023, IMI has established itself as one of the top nine automotive electronics manufacturing services (EMS) providers globally [1][3]. The company reported impressive revenue figures of $1.3 billion in 2023 [3], demonstrating its strong market presence. With 19 manufacturing facilities spread across eight countries [3][6], IMI maintains a robust global footprint that enables it to serve diverse automotive market needs.

In a significant recent development, IMI announced a strategic manufacturing partnership with LAND Energy on January 6, 2025 [7][6]. This collaboration marks an important expansion into the electric mobility sector, with plans to launch a new global mobility platform in early 2025 [6]. The partnership specifically targets high-growth markets across Asia and Europe, where demand for electric vehicles is experiencing substantial growth [5].

Future Growth Trajectory

IMI’s expansion strategy includes strengthening its presence in advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and electric vehicle technologies [3]. The company’s Test & Systems Development group has expanded its capabilities to include fully automated test systems for automotive electronics, with a particular focus on EV vehicle boards [3]. This positions IMI to capitalize on the growing trend toward vehicle electrification and autonomous driving technologies in the European market [2].
