 November Export Performance of Ready-made Clothing Sector


The ready-made clothing industry took its place in the top three of the sectors with the highest export volume, with an export of 1.6 billion dollars in November.


The ready-made clothing sector is one of the important sectors of Turkey due to its share in gross domestic product, manufacturing industry and industrial production, exports, net foreign currency input to the economy, and employment it provides. The Turkish ready-made clothing industry is largely export-oriented. Among the main reasons for Turkey's high export figures in the ready-made clothing sector are that the Turkish ready-made clothing industry has a flexible production structure, that adapts to changing fashion trends and that produces fashionable products with high added value, in addition to fast delivery, proximity to target markets, technical, social and administrative know-how, experience, wide range of products, quality production and design capacity.
