Turkish textile exports booming
Textiles are one of the most often-traded products in the world – and Turkey is an increasingly important source of low-cost products for you to consider.
Turkey is sixth in the world’s textile sector in terms of its production capacity, and the biggest textile-producing country in Europe (when counting Turkey as part of Europe). The biggest factory in Europe producing quilt covers is in Turkey, and Turkey is also one of the world’s three biggest suppliers of towelling.
According to the latest figures from the Uludag Textile Exporters’ Association (UTIB), textile exports from the north-western city of Bursa (Turkey’s main textile production centre) increased by over 11% year on year and reached US$1.4bn in the first nine months of 2013, including a 16% month-on-month increase in September alone.
The Uludag Textile Exporters’ Association (UTIB) has 3,220 members and is part of the Uludag Union of Exporters’ Associations.
