标准普尔全球韩国制造业采购经理人指数从9月份的50.7降至2025年10月的49.4,表明该行业再次疲软,标志着过去9个月的第八次收缩。产出和新订单均有所下降,而就业人数三个月来首次小幅下降。企业指出,国内经济疲软和美国关税的影响是生产和需求的主要拖累因素,影响了采购和库存决策。由于货币走弱导致进口成本上升,在某些情况下还受到关税的影响,运营费用急剧上升。因此,制造商连续第十一个月提高了出厂价格。尽管对国内经济和长期关税压力的担忧持续存在,但在新推出产品的大规模生产的支持下,商业信心仍然乐观。
The S&P Global South Korea Manufacturing PMI slipped to 49.4 in October 2025 from 50.7 in September, signaling renewed weakness in the sector and marking the eighth contraction in the past nine months. Both output and new orders declined, while employment fell marginally for the first time in three months. Firms cited sluggish domestic conditions and the impact of US tariffs as key drags on production and demand, influencing purchasing and inventory decisions. Operating expenses rose sharply, driven by higher import costs stemming from a weaker currency and, in some cases, tariff effects. As a result, manufacturers raised factory gate prices for the eleventh straight month. Business confidence remained positive, supported by the mass production of newly launched products, though concerns persisted over the domestic economy and long-term tariff pressures.
