2026-06-19 07:17 By Joshua Ferrer 1 min. read

The manufacturing industry in Turkey operated at 74.5% of its production capacity in June 2026, up from 74.2% in the previous month.

This marked the highest rate since June last year, driven mainly by a sharp increase in capacity utilization for investment goods, which rose to 73.4% from 70.3%, signaling stronger activity in capital-intensive industries.

Intermediate goods utilization remained broadly stable at 75.0% compared with 75.2% in May, continuing to post the highest rate among major sectors.

However, most consumer-oriented categories showed weaker performance.

Capacity usage for durable consumer goods fell to 67.9% from 70.6%, while non-durable consumer goods eased to 72.6% from 73.1%.

Overall consumer goods utilization also declined to 71.8% from 72.7%, and food and beverages slipped to 72.5% from 73.2%.
