Turkiye Automotive Sector Report 2025-2026

Turkiye is home to production sites for more than 30 of the world's top 100 automotive suppliers, reflecting its strategic role in the international automotive industry. The automotive sector has consistently driven Turkiye's industrial expansion over the years, contributing significantly to exports and job creation. In 2024, road vehicles accounted for 12% of the nation's total goods exports, further highlighting the industry's pivotal economic role. In line with global trends, Turkish carmakers are increasingly investing in the production of electric vehicles (EVs) supported by favourable government policies. In 2024, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan introduced a USD 5bn package to support EV production and a USD 4.5bn package for battery production, as the country aims to boost EV production to one million units annually. The rise of electrification, shifting demand patterns and new investment flows - particularly from Chinese manufacturers - are reshaping Turkiye's automotive landscape, laying the groundwork for a more diversified and competitive industry in the years to come.
