FX.co ★ Turkey’s Industrial Capacity Utilization Edges Up to 73.8% in April

Turkey’s industrial capacity utilization rose modestly in April 2026, signaling a slight improvement in factory activity. The utilization rate increased to 73.8%, up from 73.3% recorded in March 2026.

The latest data, updated on 21 April 2026, indicate that Turkish manufacturers are operating a bit closer to their full potential than in the previous month. While the change is incremental, the uptick suggests a gradual firming in industrial demand and production conditions across the economy.

Analysts will be watching upcoming releases to see whether this improvement in capacity usage develops into a sustained trend, which could point to stronger momentum in Turkey’s industrial sector over the coming months.
