Competitive more than ever
The exports by Turkish automotive sector, which is the driving force of
Turkish economy, reached remarkable figures in the last decade. The
Turkish automotive industry has been active since the early seventies.
Since the full integration to the European Customs Union in 1994,
Turkey has become a major production platform for global automotive
manufacturers.
As known, the auto parts industry of Turkey has recorded a dynamic
growth in line with the automotive industry. From simple components in
the mid-1960s, the sector ascended to produce high-tech components
currently.
The industry with its large capacity, wide variety of production and high
standards, supports automotive industry production and the vehicles in
Turkey and also has ample potential for additional exports.
The leading foreign automotive parts manufacturers have established
a presence in the country through joint-ventures, which dominate
production and exports.
The export potential of the automotive parts sector, coupled with the
presence of major international automotive manufacturers, has attracted
an increasing number of foreign investors.
Key factors which attract foreign capital inflows to Turkey mainly include
the market size, consumer composition, friendly investment legislation
and liberal banking system together with other attractiveness arising
from highly skilled human resources in production and management,
the unsaturated domestic market with high potential, easy access to
neighboring (regional) emerging markets, and low labor cost.
The industry exhibit its full potential in major specialized fairs both at
home and abroad. Our publications remain at the service of those
businesses people seeking to increase their share in the increasingly
competitive foreign markets.
We are convinced that the events in which we participate have turned
out to be an ideal ground for the business people operating in the
automotive business.
We wish them lucrative trade.
