KT&G's Midterm Plan: Doubling Sales by 2027

KT&G plans to invest $3.1 billion in e-cigarette and ginseng health products and double sales by 2027.

KT&G has recently launched a midterm business plan.

According to the plan, KT&G will invest a total of 3.9 trillion Korean won (3.1 billion US dollars) by 2027, with a focus on its electronic cigarette business (including overseas operations) and health supplements containing ginseng.

KT&G has plans to increase its sales revenue to over 100 trillion Korean won by 2027, a 73% growth compared to the estimated sales revenue of 59 trillion Korean won in 2022.

Bang Kyung-man, the Executive Vice President of KT&G, announced that the company now sells its heated non-combustible cigarette brands in 31 different countries, with a primary focus on the European market. Since partnering with various companies, the sales of its product, "lil," have quadrupled. The company is also considering releasing sales data related to "lil," which has not yet been disclosed due to a partnership agreement with PMI.

The company also presented its business expansion strategy, aiming to obtain more than half of its sales revenue from overseas operations by 2027. It is reported that in 2022, about 33% of KT&G's sales revenue comes from overseas operations.

According to Bang, KT&G is considering Kazakhstan and Eastern Europe as potential locations for a new factory. In order to raise the necessary funds, KT&G may sell some of its real estate assets and borrow from banks.
