Wednesday, 27 Sep 2023 LG Electronics aims to generate US$17bil in annual sales from its so-called vehicle solutions business by 2030, said CEO Cho. — Reuters SEOUL: One of the world’s leading home-appliance makers is looking to electric vehicles (EVs) to help drive its growth, specifically infotainment systems and components that are used in cars. South Korea’s LG Electronics Inc aims to generate US$17bil in annual sales from its so-called vehicle solutions business by 2030, accounting for about 20% of total revenue, up from 14% in the first half of 2023, according to chief executive officer William Cho. That will make it the company’s main growth engine, he said in his first media interview since taking the helm in 2021. “I’m confident that the company will be one of the top players in the mobility industry,” Cho told Bloomberg News. “We are going to focus on what we do well,” he said, pointing to what he described as LG’s deep understanding of consumers and ability to respond to evolving technologies. LG doesn’t intend to make its own EVs. Cho is attempting to transform the 65-year-old electronics behemoth into a company that embraces digitisation, electrification and services linked to its devices. LG aims to spend at least 50 trillion won on new businesses by 2030, according to a long-term strategy published in July. The transition will help LG’s diversification from thinner margin, capital-intensive hardware operations, particularly as inflation and worries about recession dent demand for electronics. LG is already a significant player in vehicles, with US$80bil in outstanding orders for technology such as e-powertrains, Cho said. It counts General Motors Co and most carmakers in North America and Europe as customers. Cho deflected questions on whether LG is in talks with Apple Inc for a potential partnership on EVs, saying it’s something he is often asked. “We are confident and ready to cooperate with current and future automakers,” the 60-year-old said. LG Magna, a partnership with Canadian auto parts manufacturer Magna International Inc, will unveil a concept car at the CES trade show in Las Vegas next year. The joint venture is integrating hardware and software, including an advanced driver assistance system and vehicle entertainment, Cho said. Challenges include fallout from geopolitical tensions involving China and Russia, as well as competition from Chinese rivals such as Haier Smart Home Co. LG has also in the past been affected by Chinese boycotts of South Korean products. While there has been a “little bit of a strain from the supply chain point of view”, LG has no plan to “intensively shift Chinese production” to other regions for now, Cho said. According to Bloomberg Intelligence analysts including Ignacio Canals Polo, softer consumer sentiment and a weak housing market have created a “perfect storm” for appliance makers in China. Companies such as LG will need to step up innovation, advertising and investment, they said. Cho said competition from Chinese peers is growing in lower-end appliances and televisions. A goal for LG is to dominate both premium and cheaper electronics, and generate revenue with services connected to those devices. “We need to continuously lead the industry,” Cho said. — Bloomberg Subscribe now to our Premium Plan for an ad-free and unlimited reading experience!
