Turkey’s industrial production fell 1.9% year-on-year in August 2026, deepening from a marginally revised 0.2% decline in the previous month and marking the fourth consecutive month of contraction. It was also the steepest annual drop since January, as manufacturing output fell 2.5%, reversing a 0.3% increase in the previous month. The decline was driven by weaker output in beverages, tobacco products, wearing apparel, wood and wood products, printing, basic pharmaceuticals, and rubber and plastic products. In contrast, mining and quarrying output rose for the first time in six months (1.7% vs -4.1% in July). Electricity, gas, steam and air-conditioning supply also rebounded, rising 1.3% following a 4.8% decline in the previous month. On a monthly basis, industrial output fell 1.0%, following a marginally revised 0.9% decrease in July.
