FX.co ★ Turkey Factory Capacity Usage Hits 1-Year High

Turkey’s manufacturing sector operated at 74.5% of its production capacity in June 2026, up from 74.2% in May. This was the highest utilization rate since June of the previous year, largely driven by a notable rebound in investment goods, where capacity use climbed to 73.4% from 70.3%. The improvement points to stronger activity in capital-intensive industries.

Capacity utilization in intermediate goods remained broadly steady at 75.0%, compared with 75.2% in May, and continued to record the highest rate among the main subsectors.

By contrast, most consumer-focused segments weakened. Capacity use for durable consumer goods declined to 67.9% from 70.6%, while non-durable consumer goods slipped to 72.6% from 73.1%. Overall consumer goods utilization fell to 71.8% from 72.7%, and capacity use in food and beverages eased to 72.5% from 73.2%.
