19 June 2026, 14:20 Turkey: Factory Capacity Usage Hits 1-Year High.
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%.
