Turkey’s Textile Industry Overview
The textile industry has been denominated as the locomotive of the Turkish Economy since 1970's. Total investment in Turkey's textile industry exceeded US$ 150 billion, of which more than US$ 50 billion was invested in the last 5-10 years. Low labor costs, a qualified workforce, relatively cheap raw materials have played an important role in the significant growth of the sector; as well as a liberalized economic environment and export-led policies in the last two decades. The textile sector exports approximately 60% of its production. Capacity utilization rates are approximately 75% especially among exporting manufacturers. Turkey ranks also among the top ten global producers of wool cloth, carpets, synthetic filament and fiber, polyester and polyamide filament. Turkey is also a very important cotton country, which is an advantage in raw materials, for the clothing industry. Turkey ranks 1st in Europe and 4th in the world textile production with an average production of 800,000-900,000 tons per year. Textiles and clothing are among the most traded goods in the global economy. The EU is the world's second largest importer of textile products and Turkey ranks at the 2nd position of the apparel and textile exporters to the EU.
The sector is aware of the trend in international markets towards increasing demand for healthier and more environmentally friendly products and tries to adapt itself to these developments by legal and technical regulations. Nevertheless, it is hard to keep its competitive position in the world market full of emerging players. Thus, manufacturers have shifted their operations to value-added products and creation of brand names. Currently, 30% of Turkish manufacturers have their own designs and brands in international markets.
