Hyundai Mobis has moved to lead future mobility trends and expand in the global market without limits. The company plans to achieve these goals by elevating its fundamental competitiveness through advanced leading technologies while responding to paradigm shifts such as electrification and software-defined vehicles (SDV).
According to the industry on the 14th, Hyundai Mobis posted a record performance last year, with 61.1181 trillion won in sales on a consolidation basis and 3.3575 trillion won in operating profit. Its annual orders for core parts from global automakers reached $9.17 billion (about 13.7 trillion won), exceeding its target.
In this year's New Year's address, Hyundai Mobis President Lee Gyu-suk set the direction, saying, "Rather than inertially following the direction presented by automakers, we must take the lead and guide the market and customers based on our vision, technology and orientation." The idea is to link technological competitiveness to customer demand so the company can propose attractive core technologies from the earliest stages of vehicle development.
Lee also emphasized that more important than simply securing new technologies is how quickly and on time they can be brought to market, stressing the need to maximize mass producibility and manufacturing know-how.
Following this direction, Hyundai Mobis plans to push ahead with businesses focused on automotive semiconductors and core components for Robotics. Hyundai Mobis is both a demander and supplier of automotive semiconductors that directly develop in-vehicle controllers, the core of SDVs. Centered on system semiconductors and Power Semiconductor, the company plans to internalize key semiconductor design capabilities step by step and lead the establishment of an automotive semiconductor ecosystem in Korea, where the domestic base is still insufficient.
In addition, the field of core robot components such as actuators is highly similar to automotive parts manufacturing and technology, and there is no overwhelmingly dominant market player yet. Based on its accumulated drive and control technologies and mass-production manufacturing know-how, Hyundai Mobis plans to focus on advancing actuator technologies—components that account for about 60% of robot costs—and achieving early mass production.
Accordingly, at CES 2026 this year, Hyundai Mobis said it has established a strategic cooperation framework with Boston Dynamics and decided to supply actuators exclusively. Rather than merely presenting a future blueprint, the company has begun full-fledged commercialization by securing a solid global customer.
A Hyundai Mobis official said, "Based on our strengths in automotive parts design capabilities and mass-production experience, we plan to expand our business scope in the future to various related components within robots such as sensors, controllers and batteries," adding, "We will secure sustainable future growth engines not limited to automotive parts but extending to the robot industry and further to the physical AI field."
