Dynamism prevails as usual
It should be noted that the Turkish automotive sector made $11.8 billion (TL 163.72 billion)
in subindustry exports last year, according to official data.
The automotive sector, which has been the export champion of Turkey for 16 years, made
a total of $29.3 billion in foreign sales in 2022.
Actually, the last decade has been a turning point for the Turkish automotive industry in
terms of its integration into the world economy. Foreign firms that have been attentive to
the potential that the Turkish automotive industry possesses have been investing in Turkey.
Foreign partners have begun to view their facilities in Turkey as their production center for
the global markets.
The auto parts industry of Turkey has developed rapidly as a consequence of developments
in the automotive industry. The Turkish auto parts 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 exports.
The Turkish automotive and auto spare parts industry have prospered dynamically in line
with ever increasing demand from abroad. So, business people operating in the industry
have become outward oriented more than ever before. This fact is also reflected through
the pages of our publications.
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 automotive products
and brand names. Currently, Turkish manufacturers have their own designs and brands
in international markets.
In evaluating the future export potential of the automotive industry, using cross-country
statistics, it is possible to indicate that Turkish automotive industry has comparative
advantage regarding labor productivity, labor cost and the share of capital in the value
added, especially with respect to the mature producers in the world. More than half of
these manufacturers compete in international markets and set high standards of export
figures.
Our publications remain at the service of those businesses people seeking to increase their
share in the increasingly competitive foreign markets.
As usual, we convey the message of the Turkish automotive and autospare parts exporters
by participating in major fairs and exhibitions around the world.
We are convinced that the events in which we participate would be instrumental to
increase business opportunities in the automotive industry.
We wish lucrative trade for all participants.
