ST has been ranked the number one vendor worldwide in general‑purpose microcontrollers (GP MCU) for the fifth consecutive year, based on research published by Omdia*, a global analyst and advisory leader.
This recognition reflects the continued trust developers place in STM32 when building MCU designs. Thank you for choosing STM32 and for being part of this journey.
Since the launch of the first STM32 nearly 20 years ago, our guiding principle has remained the same: we put developers first.
This means providing embedded developers with cutting-edge STM32 hardware and software technology, comprehensive support, and high-quality, reliable supply.
Your feedback, challenges, and ideas help shape our roadmap and drive continuous improvement and innovation across the STM32 portfolio.
We look forward to continuing to support you as you build the next generation of embedded applications.
