On May 18, independent research firm Research Arum forecasted that SY Donga is set to accelerate its entry into the robotics business, leveraging its expertise in precision rubber component technology. The investment opinion was positive, with a target price of 12,000 won.

Researcher Choi Seonghwan stated, "Major clients such as Hyundai Motor Group and LG Electronics are working toward mass production of the humanoid robots 'Atlas' and 'Cloid' by 2028," adding, "SY Donga is also visibly moving into the robotics industry based on the precision rubber component technology it has accumulated over the past 50 years."

Currently, SY Donga is reportedly pursuing mass production orders from domestic and international robotics OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) companies. Researcher Choi projected that the company could achieve record-high results in 2027, driven by the expansion of new applications for robotics and stable growth in its existing automotive and home appliance businesses. He estimated sales and operating profit for 2026 at 423.4 billion won and 17.5 billion won, respectively.

He further assessed, "SY Donga is likely to secure a competitive edge in the robotics components market as well, based on its more than 50 years of mass production experience and quality control capabilities in the automotive and home appliance sectors, along with its mass production technology for precision rubber and plastic components."

Researcher Choi explained that the company is currently engaged in prototype development and order acquisition activities, and is also pursuing joint development agreements (JDAs) with domestic and overseas robotics OEMs and Tier 1 component suppliers. He added, "The company plans to minimize initial investment burdens by sharing part of its existing automotive mass production lines for robotics component manufacturing."

The defense sector was also cited as a new growth driver. He explained, "SY Donga is currently preparing for certification under the Defense Quality Management System and is also in the process of registering as a partner with major defense contractors."
