Turkey’s industrial capacity utilization inched up in September 2026, signaling a modest improvement in manufacturing activity. The capacity utilization rate rose to 74.2% in September from 73.5% in August 2026.
The data, updated on 21 September 2026, suggest that Turkish producers are making slightly greater use of existing factory resources as the third quarter progresses. While the increase is moderate, the rise in capacity use may be seen as a tentative sign of strengthening demand or improved production conditions within the country’s industrial sector.
