Samsung SDI, a key part of the Samsung Group, is known as one of the leading suppliers of lithium-ion rechargeable batteries worldwide. The company utilizes its skills in electronic materials to provide numerous components and films for semiconductors, LCD and OLED panels, and rechargeable batteries to Samsung Electronics, the globally renowned consumer electronics, and memory manufacturer. Due to increasing demand, the auto battery sector of Samsung SDI is predicted to record a double-digit operating margin soon, further expanding the company’s profit margins. That said, the profitability expectations of auto batteries are likely to be affected by heavy initial costs and lower production yields.
