Turkey’s industrial sector returned to growth in February 2026, with industrial production rising 2.2% year-over-year, reversing a contraction seen at the start of the year. The latest data, updated on 10 April 2026, show a marked improvement from January 2026, when output fell 1.8% compared with the same month a year earlier.
The figures are based on year-over-year comparisons, measuring February’s performance against February 2025, while January’s reading reflected a comparison with January 2025. The swing from negative to positive territory suggests a stabilisation in activity after a weak opening to the year, and will likely be watched closely by investors and policymakers for signs that momentum in Turkey’s industrial base is strengthening.
