Textile & Ready Wear
The Turkish textile and apparel sector continues to grow rapidly, supported by strong export demand, liberalization in trade, and increasing global interest across all textile and fashion segments. This dynamic environment offers significant potential for investors and manufacturers, backed by regulatory reforms and the government’s commitment to transparency and competitiveness in international markets.
Apparel & Ready-Wear
In 2024, Turkey’s ready-wear and apparel exports exceeded USD 19 billion, maintaining its position as one of the top suppliers to the European Union. Demand is expected to rise further in 2025, particularly in sustainable fashion and technical textiles. Turkish producers are increasingly focusing on quality, flexibility, and fast delivery, making them strong partners for global brands. Exporters find growing opportunities in private label production, fast fashion supply chains, and e-commerce platforms.
Textiles & Raw Materials
Turkey’s integrated textile base — from yarn and fabric to finished garment — ensures resilience and competitiveness. Long-term partnerships with European brands highlight Turkey’s role as a regional hub for textiles, connecting Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. The sector is further supported by investments in digital printing, innovative fabrics, and eco-friendly production processes.
Home Textiles & Niche Segments
Home textiles and niche product segments such as organic cotton, recycled fibers, and athleisure are vital for export diversification. Strategic collaborations and upgrades in production infrastructure ensure stable supply while responding to the growing demand for sustainability and quality.
Green Opportunities
Sustainability is at the heart of Turkey’s textile future. Turkish companies are investing in certifications such as OEKO-TEX, GOTS, and BSCI, aligning with EU Green Deal requirements. By 2035, the aim is to expand the share of sustainable and circular textiles, strengthening Turkey’s position as a trusted supplier in global markets. Opportunities are abundant in recycling, eco-friendly fabrics, green logistics, and digital supply-chain integration.
Ongoing reforms, a predictable trade environment, and clear goals for sustainability and global competitiveness position Turkey as one of the most promising textile and apparel exporters in its region.
