Turkey’s industrial production rose by 3.3% year-on-year (YoY) in April 2025, signaling continued growth in the country’s industrial sector, according to the Turkish Statistical Institute (TurkStat). However, when compared to March 2025, production declined by 3.
1% on a month-on-month (MoM) basis, reflecting some short-term volatility.
The manufacturing sector contributed significantly to the annual increase, posting a 3% YoY gain, despite a 3.4% MoM decrease. The energy sector showed particularly strong performance, with the electricity, gas, steam, and air conditioning supply index rising 10.4% YoY and 1.3% MoM, underscoring the importance of energy production in supporting industrial activities.
Meanwhile, the durable consumer goods segment faced a downturn, with output falling 5.
4% YoY and 0.4% MoM, suggesting a possible dip in consumer demand for long-lasting products. The intermediate goods sector saw modest growth of 1.
7% YoY but experienced a slight MoM decrease of 0.7%.
These mixed results highlight the diverse performance across Turkey’s industrial sectors. While energy and manufacturing are driving growth, some consumer-driven segments are under pressure.
Analysts are closely watching these trends as they could impact the broader economic outlook.
Overall, Turkey’s industrial production shows resilience amid challenges, but sustaining this growth will require addressing sector-specific issues to maintain momentum in the coming months.
