Due to Turkey’s unique circumstances for textile manufacturing and export, which can operate as a robust engine for this industry, the future of textile machinery in Turkey is highly bright and promising.
Turkish businesses, which rank among the top 5 exporters of textile and apparel to all continents, particularly America and Europe, must constantly be able to manufacture high-quality products. It has led to the development of a vibrant and excellent textile machinery market in Turkey due to the requirement to update or upgrade their equipment every five years.
On the other hand, the rise in manufacturing prices in Europe and America has prompted makers of textile machines to shift their focus to high-tech technology. Turkey now has the chance to take over the production of higher-priced and simpler machinery for Europeans. As an illustration, Turkish companies that produce sewing and apparel machines import electric motors and sewing heads from renowned and top-notch nations like Japan, Singapore, and Germany. Turkey has made significant progress in this industry by manufacturing, designing, and processing steel and software parts.
Foreign machines have become more expensive due to the rise in costs and the dollar value in Turkey. It may be why new investors are becoming aware of domestic options for devices that are less expensive and have less costly after-sales services.
What kind of textile machinery in Turkey is produced?
As you know, the textile industry is diverse and has many branches and sectors. Different and specialized machines are used in each of these sectors. No country or corporation could produce all the machinery required by the industry on its own.
Turkey has been able to participate in producing textile machines in areas that don’t demand highly advanced technical expertise due to its infrastructure and technological ability. It may be argued that Turkey has a lot to say in the production of dyeing, finishing, and washing machines, as well as machinery for the clothing industry, and most of the country’s influential enterprises are engaged in this industry.
It must be acknowledged that while Turkey has recently joined the top global list of textile machinery manufacturers, it is still lagging behind in research and development and significant financial investments in developing high-tech products. However, to close the gap in recent years, the Turkish government and major exporting businesses have given R&D considerable attention.
The continued lack of confidence in Turkish producers is one of the issues facing textile machinery manufacturers in Turkey on the home market. Manufacturers do not welcome their machines, particularly in industries where the few machine-making companies have not yet been able to address international standards. It is apparent in the industry of spinning machines, which includes warp knitting, circular knitting, and knitting.
The Stunning Success Story of Textile Machinery in Turkey
Turkey currently ranks as the third-largest importer and tenth-largest exporter of textile machines worldwide.
The export and import statistics for textile machinery in Turkey for 2021 demonstrate that Turkish firms are still investing despite the Corona pandemic. Turkey exported 361 million dollars worth of textile machinery in the first five months of 2021, a 52% rise over the same time in 2020. A total of 692 million dollars’ machinery value was bought in the first five months of 2021, a 60.9% rise from last year.
In conclusion, it is simple to establish that Turkey is the focus of the post-pandemic textile trend. The Turkish textile sector will expand in the upcoming years if the government’s assistance and encouragement continue.
The Turkish Exporters’ Assembly director, Mr. Smail GÜLLE, responded to our inquiry regarding textile machinery in Turkey by stating the following salient points; ” Our current success is a result of 15 years of struggle and tenacity in Turkish textile machinery manufacturing, which helped to end the taboo against foreign machines in Turkey.” Nearly 15 years ago, not even Turkish manufacturing companies had any faith in the textile machinery manufacturers in Turkey.
The failure of international machine manufacturers to cooperate with Turkey and the sales representatives’ refusal to demonstrate the machines’ functionality made it much more challenging to overcome this taboo. However, we were able to build the Turkish textile machine brand today and rank among the top 10 exporters of textile machines globally.
Another factor contributing to Turkey’s increased textile machinery exports is its government’s encouragement to participate in international trade shows and promote its products in target markets worldwide. This topic was covered in a different article on the Kohn textile Journal website.
What Benefits Do the Textile Machinery Manufacturers in Turkey Offer?
Turkey has advantages in machine design and advancement. – accessibility to the European market – metalworking – programming – labor force, energy, and production flexibility – significant domestic consumption market, etc.
Textile Exhibitions’ Effects on the Growth of Textile Machinery In Turkey
Because of Turkey’s proximity to Europe, the Middle East, and Africa can be a great alternative to East Asian textile exhibitions like ITMA Asia. It was demonstrated by the Istanbul Textile Machinery Exhibition, which once again proved the country’s reliability as a business hub for textile exhibitions.
The Turkish economy has benefited significantly from the textile industry, which is one of the export engines for Turkey, particularly with the recent improved results it has seen due to the pandemic. Turkey has been able to boost the export of home textiles, technical textiles, and medical textiles by promoting the export of textiles and raw materials by 40%.
Holding professional exhibitions and shifting them into regional and international brands has been one of Turkey’s clever policies in various sectors. It was made simple by the country’s advantageous location and particularly by the lovely city of Istanbul.
By eliminating the expensive costs of visiting overseas events and visa issues, Turkish companies may host a large number of visitors and buyers from around the world and the region in the cities of their country, thanks to this approach.
The following are only a few of the best and most apparent instances of these exhibitions:
- Immediately following ITMA, ITM is the second-largest textile machinery exhibition.
- Clothing Machinery Exhibition at IGM Exhibition
- After the Heimtextil exposition in Frankfurt, the Otex show is the second-largest home textile event worldwide.
- Domotex Turkey is a trade exhibition for the carpet and flooring sector.
