One of the reasons for the dark clouds in the global financial markets is the corona19, which has shrunk in economic activity. Production, sales and consumption are all shrinking. At first, it was mainly hitting the airline or travel industry, but now it is spreading to all industries.

The situation in the industry is reporter Labor Kyu.

The auto parts maker, which has grown steadily for 10 years, saw its sales drop by 20% last month.

The suspension of supply of Chinese-made parts stopped the production line of the finished car and suffered chain damage.

The factory in China, which opened in January, has been blocked by the arrival of international workers and has not been able to send operation personnel.

Last month, after the spread of the Corona 19 spread, automobile production fell 26.4% YoY and domestic and exports fell 18.8% and 25.0%, respectively.

For the first time since the financial crisis, Hyundai Motor's domestic sales fell below 40,000, and Mando, the second largest auto parts company in Korea, is undergoing retirement.

What's worrying is that the spread of corona spreading to the United States and Europe could also affect exports to the automotive industry.

The real economy shock wave is spreading to virtually all industries.

The number of international passengers, which was 3.95 million last month, dropped to 400,000 this month, and the airline, travel and hotel industries are paralyzed.

Last month, world vessel orders also fell 70% from the previous month, and sales at discount stores such as department stores and hypermarkets also decreased by 30.6% and 19.6%.

Businesses are entering an emergency plan as the expansion of travel restrictions and logistical disruptions, such as the U.S.'s ban on entry into Europe, overlaps with global demand decline.
