Autonomous Driving V2X (vehicle-to-everything) semiconductor specialist corporations Ettifos was named a key company in global market research firm IndustryARC's "2026 V2X Chipset Market" report.

Ettifos said on the 17th that the report published by IndustryARC formally included the company and its core product, the ESAC (Ettifos SIRIUS Accelerator Chip) chipset. The report selected Ettifos as a major company profile alongside global corporations including Qualcomm, Huawei, NXP, Samsung Electronics, and Autotalks. This is the first time a Korea-based V2X-dedicated semiconductor company has been included as a standalone profile target.

The report introduced Ettifos's business status, product portfolio, and recent achievements in a separate section. In particular, it evaluated the ESAC chipset as Korea's first V2X-dedicated ASIC (application-specific integrated circuit) that simultaneously supports LTE-V2X and 5G-V2X.

Ettifos's major business achievements were also reflected in the report. Representative cases included receiving the highest TI-1 rating in the NICE Information Service technology evaluation, obtaining three integrated certifications from the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), participating in Maricopa County, Arizona's V2X public infrastructure project, complying with the BABA (Build America, Buy America Act) requirements, and verifying interoperability with Audi, Kapsch, and Qualcomm.

In particular, in the North America market analysis institutional sector, Ettifos was cited as a key supplier supporting the expansion of U.S. V2X infrastructure, with its technology and market competitiveness recognized.

Ettifos Chief Executive Kim Ho-jun said, "Being listed in the IndustryARC report is an objective recognition of the competitiveness of our SDM (Software Defined Modem)-based 5G-V2X communication modem semiconductor IP technology and the ESAC chipset, as well as our position in the global V2X market," adding, "We will ramp up mass production of ESAC in 2027 and expand orders in the United States, Japan, and Europe, and in 2028 pursue a KOSDAQ special technology listing to leap forward as a global V2X fabless semiconductor corporations."

Meanwhile, Ettifos is seeking to raise Series C funding in the second half of this year and is targeting a KOSDAQ special technology listing in 2028.
