Machinery manufacturing continues to be one of the key growth drivers of the Turkish economy. This sector plays a crucial role in the development of Türkiye's greater manufacturing industry due in no small part to its capability to produce intermediate goods and to provide inputs to key sectors such as chemicals, construction, automotive, electronics, energy, textiles, agriculture, and mining. The machinery manufacturing sector in Türkiye is known for being R&D intensive -- Türkiye graduates over 39,000 engineers every year in mechanical fields -- and for creating high value. ​

Türkiye's competitiveness in the machinery sector is driven by favorable input costs and strong enablers. Input costs include competitive labor cost, an affordable and reliable energy supply, and logistical advantages based on the geostrategic location of Türkiye; enablers, on the other hand, include a skilled workforce, generous investment incentives, an innovation-oriented infrastructure, and a strong supply base and domestic clusters.
