Gasgoo Munich-Bosch announced Nov. 4 that it will establish a dedicated semiconductor division on Jan. 1, 2028. The move is part of a broader global restructuring of the Bosch Group and its Mobility business unit, where the new division will reside. Currently, Bosch’s semiconductor operations fall under the Automotive Electronics division.
Bosch is targeting €5 billion in semiconductor revenue by 2030. Beyond its core presence in automotive and consumer electronics, including smartphones and wearables, the company targets emerging sectors like robotics and AI data centers.

Global semiconductor demand is surging as robotics and AI data centers scale rapidly. Bosch aims to capture this growth. Its chips are already deployed in robotics applications.
The unit has over 60 years of technical heritage. Bosch leads in MEMS sensor technology and markets. It integrates semiconductors into system-level offerings, particularly silicon carbide (SiC) chips and application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs).
Spinning the chip business into a standalone division will align Bosch’s organizational structure and workflows with the fast-shifting demands of the semiconductor industry. The aim is to deliver more responsive service across automotive, consumer electronics, and newer growth fields.
Notably, Bosch singled out China in its announcement. China is the largest market for smart vehicles, consumer electronics, and robotics. This drives strong demand for advanced chips and high-precision sensors. Bosch is already working with local automakers, consumer-tech brands, and robotics pioneers there.
The new division will enable faster response times and tailored semiconductor solutions. This helps local clients accelerate innovation.
