According to the report of the Department of Planning and Investment of Quang Nam, as of April 2023, the whole province had 54 dissolved enterprises, 631 enterprises registered to temporarily suspend operations, an increase of more than 12% over the same period, equivalent to an increase of 68 enterprises. In addition to agriculture, forestry, fishery and services, other economic sectors faced many difficulties. Industrial production and construction activities in the first quarter decreased by 27.4% over the same period, of which industry decreased by 27.3%, construction decreased by 28.4%. The reasons were determined to be that many enterprises had no new orders, raw material costs increased, the consumer market narrowed, export orders decreased, and construction material prices increased due to scarce supply.

Particularly for the province's key automobile manufacturing and assembly industry, it is facing many difficulties as the automobile market in the first months of the year is somewhat gloomy. The production index of the processing and manufacturing industry in March decreased by 27% compared to the same period last year.
