Industrial production in Türkiye increased in February, signaling a modest recovery in economic activity, according to data released by the Turkish Statistical Institute (TÜİK).
The industrial production index rose 2.6% on a monthly basis, while recording a 2.2% increase compared to the same month last year.
Manufacturing Drives Growth
A breakdown of the data shows that the manufacturing sector was the main contributor to the increase:
- Manufacturing output rose 2.4% year-on-year and 3.3% month-on-month
- Mining and quarrying increased 4.1% annually and 0.4% monthly
- Electricity, gas, steam, and air conditioning production declined 2.2% annually and 3.6% monthly
Signs of Short-Term Recovery
The monthly rise of 2.6% points to a short-term rebound in industrial activity, particularly driven by stronger manufacturing performance. Analysts note that the data reflects a moderate but broad-based improvement across sectors, despite continued weakness in energy production.
Mixed Sectoral Outlook
While the overall trend remains positive, sector-level differences highlight an uneven recovery. The decline in energy production continues to weigh on overall output, even as manufacturing and mining show resilience.
The latest figures suggest that Türkiye’s industrial sector is stabilizing, although growth remains gradual and dependent on sector-specific dynamics.
