Hyundai answered a margin squeeze with the most aggressive capacity plan in its history.
At its 2026 CEO Investor Day, Hyundai Motor said it will add 1.27 million units of global capacity by 2030, taking total capacity to 6.27 million, and launch more than 100 new models, 18 of them in new segments. The targets include 5.55 million sales, an operating margin above 9 percent and electrified models at 60 percent of the mix, with level two plus software-defined vehicles in mass production from 2028. First-half sales fell 4.9 percent to about 1.97 million units and the operating margin narrowed to 5.6 percent from 7.8 percent. Korean para-aramid producers are also expanding for AI data center cable demand.

00:47Hyundai sold about 1.97 million vehicles worldwide in the first half, down from 2.07 million a year earlier.
00:56Revenue still hit a record 95.15 trillion won, roughly $69 billion, so the pressure sits on margins rather than
01:06sales value.

02:26Here's what that actually means for you.
02:28The 9% goal is a margin recovery story, and it rests on model mix and pricing rather than volume.
