Korean Media: China's refusal to supply raw materials may halt South Korean face mask production
(31 Jan) Due to the continuous spread of the Wuhan novel coronavirus, people from multiple locations are scrambling to buy masks, alcohol and other medical hygiene products. The quality of such products in South Korea is well recognised. Korean press stated that because China refused to export raw materials necessary for the production of Korean face masks, its local face mask manufacturers may stop production next Monday.
According to the report, raw materials to produce filters used to cost around 19,000 won (16USD). However, the outbreak of the novel coronavirus led Chinese face mask producers to snatch away filters intended for Korea. This drove the cost up by many times its original.
The report described that the impact extended beyond filters. Raw materials for other parts including non-woven filters, nose strips and earloops were also imported from China. Consequently, Korean manufacturers predict that face mask production may halt next Monday as a result.
The sale of face masks in Korea shot up in a few days. Many retail suppliers were sold out, regardless of whether they were online or physical stores. The report described buying face masks in Korea was akin to "plucking stars from the sky."
