SEOUL, Aug. 28 (Korea Bizwire) — Hyundai Mobis, the auto parts arm of Hyundai Motor Group, said Tuesday it will enter the automotive semiconductor and robotics markets as part of an effort to secure new growth engines beyond its traditional mobility business.
At its annual CEO Investor Day in Seoul, the company outlined a dual-track strategy in semiconductors, focusing on system chips and power chips. It plans to develop a communication system-on-chip (SoC) that integrates network functions essential for software-defined vehicles, as well as battery monitoring chips (BMICs) for safer energy management.
Hyundai Mobis also pledged to accelerate in-house design and mass production of power semiconductors to strengthen competitiveness in next-generation drive systems.
The company said it would pursue partnerships across Korea’s auto-semiconductor ecosystem, linking automakers, fabless chipmakers and foundries.
In robotics, Hyundai Mobis will begin with actuators — the motors, gears and controllers that enable robots to move — a field it says overlaps with technologies already used in electronic steering systems. Future expansions could include sensors, controllers and robotic hands.
Hyundai Mobis also highlighted progress in mobility technologies. It is developing a holographic windshield display, targeted for commercialization around 2029, and working on a standardized platform for software-defined vehicles, with business rollout expected after 2028.
In electrification, the company is designing a next-generation battery system with fireproof compartments and heat-resistant materials to fully block thermal runaway.
Financial targets remain unchanged: Hyundai Mobis aims for average annual revenue growth of at least 8 percent and an operating margin of 5–6 percent by 2027. To bolster shareholder value, it has raised this year’s stock buyback and cancellation program to 610 billion won ($450 million).
By 2033, the company expects global automakers to account for 40 percent of revenue in core component sales.
“With technological competitiveness, execution capability and speed, we will cement our position as a leader in mobility technology,” said CEO Lee Kyu-seok.
