Positive outlook: LG Chem expects its battery business for cars to increase by 70 percent this year, earning the company 1.2 trillion won (1bn dollars) in sales this year. It therefore estimates that the segment will pass the break-even point this year, allowing it to post profit for a full fiscal year by 2017. Growth is driven by soaring orders from the U.S., Europe and China.
