About Turkey's Industry
Without oil, natural gas or even precious metals, Turkey's industry in 2019 reached a record value of its exports, which then exceeded $180 billion, and Turkey plans to raise it to 190 billion by the end of 2020.
Turkey's industrial sector is the most important supplier of hard currency, with Turkey effectively starting production of its national car with local technology by 100% in early 2020, while the revenues of the automotive industry, export and parts in 2019 amounted to nearly $32 billion.
How has Turkey's Industry Evolved in Recent Years?
Turkey's industrial sector exports have long set many records month after month, year after year, despite the region's turbulent geopolitical climate, the Corona pandemic and the Ukrainian war, which collectively had a significant impact on export traffic in the region.
The latest official statistics indicate that industry in Turkey has evolved, with exports of $76 billion and $947 million in Turkey's industrial sector exports in the first five months of 2022, achieving the highest value for exports in the first five months of Turkey's foreign trade history.
Turkey's Status as an Industrial Country and Ranking Globally
Turkey set record exports in 2021, dreaming of becoming the factory of the world at the gates of Europe, investing in the decline of its domestic currency, and the desire of multinational companies to bring their production closer to their major markets.
Turkey's exports in 2021 reached $225.4 billion and are seeking to increase that figure to $300 billion in 2023.

To answer a question about what Turkey industry is famous for, we will present in the following lines some of the most important Turkish industries:
Food Industry in Turkey
We mentioned that Turkish products are of high quality, as well as cheaper than those in other countries, due to the multiplicity of factories in Turkey, their diversity, and their fame, making various brands, competition in quality and production, both in the domestic market, and the world. Therefore, this made the food trade in Turkey a prominent trade, which gives exporters a successful investment.
Turkey's food industry is experiencing a major renaissance that is attracting business investors in the Arab world, Europe and the world.
Turkish official statistics indicate that the country has achieved large figures in the food industry, work to develop human and natural resources, and marketing competencies to increase those figures annually.

The study authors wrote that companies in the garment sector are seeking to change their supplier group and get closer to their markets, noting that Turkey offers lower production costs due to the depreciation of the Turkish lira.
Furniture and Furnishings Industry in Turkey
From home furnishings products to office furniture products and furnishing schools and hospitals, the Turkish furniture sector has captured half of the need and demand of the European furniture market, competing with the Italian and Spanish furniture markets.
Turkey's furniture industry has also received great attention, clearly in the rapid rise in furniture exports from Turkey globally, with Turkish furniture exports up 23.9% in 2021, with revenues exceeding $4 billion.
Turkey exports furniture products to 190 countries around the world, with the United States, Germany, Britain and Iraq among the most imported furniture countries from Turkey.
