Industry Sector Contribution to GDP in Turkey (1990-2022)

Turkey’s industry sector has shown resilience and growth, with contributions around 31% in the early 1990s and maintaining this level into the 2020s. Despite economic volatility and political changes, Turkey’s industry sector remained robust, supported by manufacturing, construction, and automotive production. The sector’s contribution dropped to 24.6% in 2002 due to economic crises but rebounded strongly, peaking at 31.3% in 2022.

This sustained performance is attributed to Turkey’s focus on industrial expansion, driven by significant investments in infrastructure and export-oriented policies. Turkey’s manufacturing sector continues to be a growth engine for the economy, capitalizing on its strategic location and trade relations, particularly with Europe. The industry sector remains vital to Turkey's economic structure, reflecting the country’s commitment to industrial growth and export-driven strategies.
