Factories in Turkey and Turkey's Most Important Industries

An extraordinary revolution that Turkey has experienced for more than two decades would have brought it from an importing country to one of the world's most important industrialized countries exporting many of the world's most sought-after products.

What are the reasons for this renaissance? What are the most important Turkish factories? What stands out for the Turkish industry?

What are Turkey’s Most Important Industries?

The Turkish government has spared no effort to develop its industrial sectors, especially during the last two decades, under the rule of the Justice and Development Party (AKP), which has managed the country's production and directed it at an unprecedented level, raising the balance of Turkish products globally.

Successive government support and decisions to reduce taxation on the industrial sector and open market policy have had a major impact. It has been reflected in multiple industrial products, whether food, light or heavy industry, as well as international car production companies (such as Mercedes and Fiat...) which have chosen Turkey as a manufacturing, assembly, production and development centre. Turkey also excels in the aircraft field with marches and combat helicopters. 

Most Turkish industries are generally known as transformative industries, as many of the raw materials are imported from outside.

Turkey is one of the most important countries in the world in the manufacture, production and export of many light and heavy products. Turkey's industrial cities are distributed among several Turkish states, and some Turkish states are famous for their factory products, for example:

• Istanbul: Turkey’s economic capital, with Turkey's most general exports, are centred, thanks to its important location and unmistakable trade advantages.

Many different factories are centred in Istanbul, with export offices and centres for most of Turkey's major factories in the rest of the states.

Istanbul has several large industrial cities, as well as the largest wholesale markets, such as Laleli Market, a spot for clothing and footwear dealers. There is also Marter Market, and Istoc, one of the largest wholesale markets for various products, Megacenter and Rami food markets.

Silivri and Tuzla are home to large factories, where large areas help to establish such giant factories.

• Bursa: Bursa has many factories, the most important of which are: clothing of all kinds (especially children's clothing) and furniture; Inegol is considered the most important area for furniture manufacturing of all kinds.
• Konya: Konya is famous for exporting machinery and production lines, as well as some different industrial products.
• Denizli: One of the most important manufacturers and exporters of home textiles.
• Kayseri: It is the first city in Turkey within the world-renowned PVC door and window manufacturing sector.
• Mersin and Adana: This region in southern Turkey and off the Mediterranean coast is one of the most important producers of agricultural materials such as vegetables and fruits, exporting its products largely to central Asian countries and Russia.
• Gaziantep: One of the richest cities in Turkey, and it's the most active one in the multi-industry sectors. It has witnessed remarkable development over the past years and is known for its reasonable prices. It has many industries, such as carpets, shoes, paper products, as well as food products.

What Stands out for Turkey's Industry?

Turkish manufacturers have been found on the world market with products accepted and satisfied by consumers and traders alike, thus leading the way on store shelves in many countries of the world. Here is a list of features:

1. The diversity of products and the provision of all the required specifications, with the dynamism of producers in dealing with customer requests, so that Turkey and within a number of its production lines compete with the major global producers.
2. Speed of completion, productive hands, due to the availability of the labour force intensively and experience, and the development of production lines.
3. Acceptable prices, compared to product quality and specifications, as well as reducing long shipping distances.

How to Compare Turkish Factories with Others?

It may be unfair to draw a clear conclusion comparing Turkish factories and their global counterparts unless the industrial products of factories are compared to others. We need to study production lines and compare their competencies. Products are accepted in the domestic and international markets with competitive prices.

It is highly recommended to start collecting the factory guide in Turkey to compare their products and prices, which we will look at in the following lines.
