Kumho HT Wins Orders for 3 Indoor Mood Lamp Models... "Growth Momentum Expected from Autonomous Driving Advancement"

Kumho HT announced on the 1st that it has secured orders for three types of automotive interior mood lamps from S Company, a first-tier vendor of domestic automakers. This order is expected to accelerate sales of interior mood lamps.

The items ordered this time are automotive interior console and door trim mood lamps. These products will feature brightness and color adjustment functions. Kumho HT is currently in detailed discussions with the client for full-scale mass production and supply starting in June and August.

As autonomous driving technology advances, the vehicle interior is increasingly likely to be used not just as a means of transportation but as a space for rest and entertainment. With design features that maximize the emotional elements inside the vehicle becoming an important factor in vehicle purchases, the role of interior lighting is becoming increasingly significant.

The current domestic interior mood lamp market size is estimated at about 1 trillion KRW, and continuous growth is expected due to the development of autonomous driving technology and lifestyle changes. As car camping and camping culture spread, demand for interior mood lamps as emotional lighting is increasing, and it is regarded as a field with high growth potential due to minimal legal regulations.

While growth potential for automotive exterior lighting is limited due to legal regulations, interior lighting is expected to see steady market growth because it is not subject to special regulations. The company explained that starting with this order, interior mood lamps will greatly contribute not only to future sales growth but also to maximizing the company's profitability.

A Kumho HT official said, “The company has secured outstanding technology, production capacity (CAPA), and customer trust in the domestic automotive lighting market,” adding, “This order has once again proven our competitiveness, and we will further strengthen our position in the market through continuous research and development.”

He added, “We will continue steady technological development and provide customized solutions to establish ourselves as a leader in the domestic interior mood lamp market.”
