indie Semiconductor has signed a definitive agreement to acquire ams OSRAM’s fabless CMOS image sensor business for €40 million. The acquired unit, based in Belgium and Portugal, focuses on high-performance CIS for industrial, automation, and smart sensing applications.

The deal strengthens indie’s multimodal sensing technology across radar, vision, LiDAR, and ultrasonic. Mark Tyndall, EVP at indie, said integrating ams OSRAM’s CMOS imaging with indie’s sensor fusion hardware and perception software will enable highly competitive solutions for humanoid robots, cobots, and autonomous mobile robots.

According to Research and Markets, the global image sensor market is expected to exceed $40 billion by 2030, driven by autonomous driving, safety standards, and demand for low-latency, high-resolution sensors.

The transaction includes €35 million in cash at closing plus €5 million in seller debt notes. The deal is expected to close in Q3 2026, subject to regulatory approvals.
