Turkey’s industrial production contracted in January 2026, marking a sharp turnaround from the previous month’s growth, according to the latest official data updated on 10 March 2026.
On a month-over-month basis, industrial output fell by 2.80% in January, compared with a 1.20% increase recorded in December 2025. The comparison shows that momentum in Turkey’s industrial sector weakened notably at the start of the year, with production levels declining after a period of growth at the end of 2025.
The figures are based on month-over-month changes, where the January result is measured against December 2025, and the December reading reflects the change versus November 2025. The negative print for January suggests a cooling in short-term industrial activity following the previous month’s expansion.
