Full steam ahead!<br />

Turkey’s automotive production and exports recorded a strong rebound this year,<br />

data showed, following a drop a year ago due to the coronavirus pandemic.<br />

As noted earlier in this column, the exports by Turkish automotive sector have reached<br />

remarkable figures in the last decade. The automotive industry has been active since<br />

the early seventies. Since the full integration to the European Customs Union in 1994,<br />

Turkey has become a major production platform for global automotive manufacturers.<br />

The industry with its large capacity, wide variety of production and high standards,<br />

supports automotive industry production and the vehicles in Turkey and also has<br />

ample potential for additional exports.<br />

The leading foreign automotive parts manufacturers have established their presence<br />

in the country through joint-ventures. There has also been substantial locally-owned<br />

investments by spare parts manufacturers.<br />

To sum up the Turkish automotive industry, we can say that:<br />

- Quality of production improved dramatically, especially through the establishment of<br />

quality management systems.<br />

- The industry has adapted to the EU regulations and has established an efficient<br />

and exemplary cooperation with public institutions in the transformation of the EU<br />

regulations to national regulations.<br />

- Exports have risen sharply, and Turkish production has been integrated into<br />

manufacturers’ global planning.<br />

-The export potential of the automotive parts sector, coupled with the presence of<br />

major international automotive manufacturers, has attracted an increasing number of<br />

foreign investors.<br />

Key factors which attract foreign capital inflows to Turkey mainly include the market size,<br />

consumer composition, friendly investment legislation and banking system together<br />

with other attractiveness arising from highly skilled human resources in production and<br />

management, the unsaturated domestic market with high potential, easy access to<br />

neighboring (regional) emerging markets, and low labor cost.<br />

Indeed, the industry exhibit its full potential in major specialized fairs both at home and<br />

abroad. We are convinced that the events would turn out to be an ideal ground for<br />

the business people operating in the automotive business.<br />

Our publications remain at the service of those businesses people seeking to increase<br />

their share in the increasingly competitive foreign markets.<br />

We wish them lucrative trade.<br />
