Türkiye reports record 608.3 billion in industrial goods sales and 395.9 billion in exports for 2025

Türkiye has achieved a historic milestone in its industrial and export performance, with domestic manufacturers recording $608.3 billion in sales of industrial goods in 2025 and the country surpassing $395.9 billion in total exports for the same year, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan announced on Friday.

Speaking at the Turkish Exporters Assembly, Erdoğan highlighted that Türkiye’s goods and services exports reached $395.9 billion in 2025, marking a record high and underscoring 23 consecutive quarters of uninterrupted growth despite global economic headwinds . The announcement follows data released on Thursday showing that sales of industrial goods manufactured in Türkiye soared to 24.03 trillion liras ($608.3 billion) in 2025, a 27.7% year-on-year increase . The figures reflect robust production across key sectors, including 1.2 million automobiles and 8.3 million refrigerators, with food products contributing 15.5% to total sales and high-tech goods accounting for 3.6%.

The industrial surge coincides with a landmark achievement in domestic medical technology. On Friday, Secretary of Turkish Defense Industries Haluk Görgün confirmed the successful clinical deployment of the Aselsan LIFELINE HLM, the country’s first domestically produced heart-lung machine, which performed the function of a heart during surgery for the first time in Türkiye’s history .

Analysts attribute the export boom to strategic diversification and increased high-value manufacturing, with food and high-tech sectors gaining prominence. The automotive and appliance industries also contributed significantly to the industrial sales surge, reflecting both domestic demand and strong external markets. The heart-lung machine breakthrough, developed under Türkiye’s defense and health sector collaboration, signals progress in reducing reliance on imported medical devices.

With these milestones, Türkiye solidifies its position as a rising industrial and export powerhouse, navigating global uncertainties while expanding its technological and manufacturing footprint. The data underscores the country’s resilience and ambition in reshaping its economic trajectory.
