Strategic Initiatives
Growth programs, investments, and their expected impact
MPS is expanding beyond AI and server core-power products through DDR5 high-speed interface components, high-voltage AC-to-DC products for 800-volt data centers, and 48-volt vertical power modules supplied to multiple customers.
Expected impact: The initiative is intended to broaden MPS's addressable market, increase module and solution content per computing platform, and create additional enterprise-data, communications, and storage opportunities.
MPS is transitioning from a chip-only semiconductor supplier to a full-service silicon-solutions provider. It extended its manufacturing-capacity goal significantly beyond $6 billion and is diversifying both front-end foundry and back-end module-assembly partners.
Expected impact: The program is designed to support future revenue growth, maintain supply stability, improve geographic flexibility, and enable higher-volume production of complex three-dimensional power modules.
MPS shipped products into more than 1,500 new automotive sockets during the first half of 2026 and is expanding beyond its established ADAS position into zonal and 48-volt systems, battery applications, and LiDAR.
Expected impact: Broad customer and application diversification is expected to support mid-teens year-over-year automotive revenue growth in 2026 and build a wider base of future production programs.
MPS has substantially completed building-automation hardware and is developing ease-of-use software while piloting controls in a one-million-square-foot facility. It is also deploying its motion-control and robotics solutions in its own factories for module testing and reliability work.
Expected impact: The initiative could open a building-controls market that management estimated at $40 billion to $50 billion while improving internal module-testing automation and demonstrating MPS robotics technology to prospective customers.
