In the first half of 2024, Turkey's apparel exports declined sharply, falling 10% to $8.5 billion. This decline highlights the challenges faced by the Turkish apparel industry amid a slowing global economy and changing trade dynamics.
Several factors have contributed to this decline. The global economic environment has been characterized by reduced consumer spending, which has affected apparel demand in key markets. In addition, increased competition from other apparel exporting countries and currency fluctuations have also contributed to the decline.
Despite these challenges, the Turkish apparel industry remains an important part of its economy and is currently working to mitigate the impact of the decline in exports. Industry stakeholders are exploring new markets and improving production efficiency to restore competitiveness. In addition, supportive government policies aimed at strengthening the industry's resilience and promoting innovation are expected to aid recovery.
The outlook for the second half of 2024 will depend on how well these strategies are implemented and how global market conditions develop.
