Detailed SWOT Analysis of SK Group
Strength
1. Emerged as South Korea’s number 2 conglomerate: In 2021, SK Group overtook Hyundai Motor Group to take over as the No. 2 business group in South Korea in terms of asset size. SK Group's total assets, as reported by the Fair-Trade Commission on April 27, were 292 trillion won, overtaking Hyundai Motor Group's 257.8 trillion won to take second place. Hyundai and SK battled it out for third and fourth until the early 2000s. In terms of total assets, SK Group came in third place in 2003, one spot ahead of Hyundai Motor Company, but the position was reversed the following year. The management approach of Chairman Chey Tae-woo, who made substantial investments in emerging sectors like semiconductors, batteries, and biotechnology, is seen to have contributed to SK Group's advancement to second position. Due to a surge in semiconductor sales and the purchase of Intel's NAND division, SK Hynix's operating and investment assets climbed by 20.9 trillion won, boosting the total amount of assets held by SK Group. Hynix Semiconductor was purchased by Chairman Chey in 2012. The market value of Hynix, which was acquired at the time for 3.42 trillion won, is now (in mid-2022) 78,624.3 billion won.
