Import of Goods Value from Turkey (1990-2023)

Türkiye's import value showcased robust growth over the years, rising from $22.3B in 1990 to a peak of $363.7B in 2022. The country’s economic liberalization and growing industrial base in the 1990s fueled imports, which surged from $29.4B in 1993 to $54.5B in 2000. The early 2000s saw further expansion, with imports reaching $201.9B in 2008, driven by increased energy demands and infrastructure development.

The global financial crisis in 2009 caused a decline to $140.9B, but Türkiye quickly recovered, hitting $240.8B by 2011. The 2022 record reflects heightened energy imports and global price surges. A slight drop to $361.8B in 2023 indicates stabilization amidst global economic adjustments. Türkiye’s reliance on energy and industrial inputs remains a critical factor in its trade dynamics.
