Recently, people are even cancelling their events to avoid human contact to stay away from the virus. The greatest impact is faced by destination weddings as they make up over a quarter of the $298 billion global wedding market which has a domino effect over the tourism industry as well.

When we talk about destination weddings the major areas that got hit are the Chinese or Asian destinations particularly Bali, Thailand, Italy, Indian and Paris. This has further affected the sales of the other wedding vendors who won’t be hired to provide their services for weddings.

There would also some weddings services that would require tangible products which are usually imported from outside India especially China that have clearly affected the Indian Wedding Industry. There are two product categories in the wedding industry that are facing the hit because of the Coronavirus are dress retailers as well as florists.

In abroad, 80% of the wedding, as well as bridesmaid dresses, are produced in China and because of the outbreak, production has come to a near-halt that has further delayed the fulfilment of orders. Even in India, regardless of where a dress is actually made, all of the materials such as fabric, lace, beading, appliqué, zippers are basically still coming from China and that’s why the dress designers are seeing the delays.
