CJ eyes $8.47 bil. in annual sales in N. America by 2028

CJ Group has set an ambitious target of generating $8.47 billion in annual sales in North America by 2028, according to the company's mid- to long-term business strategy unveiled in Los Angeles on Saturday. The Korean conglomerate aims to capitalize on the growing popularity of K-culture to expand its presence in the region.

In 2023, CJ's sales in North America reached 8 trillion won, more than ten times the 800 billion won recorded in 2017. The company's compound annual growth rate over the eight-year period was approximately 33 percent.

CJ Group CEO Heo Min-hoe emphasized the importance of building an ecosystem that connects the popularity of K-wave to K-lifestyle experiences to accelerate expansion in the North American market. The company's journey in the US began in 1995 with an investment in the film studio DreamWorks.
