The apparel and ready-to-wear sector is one of the most important branches of industry in Türkiye, bearing a significant share of the country's employment due to its labor-intensive structure. The sector encompasses production units of all sizes, from small and medium-sized enterprises to large-scale manufacturing facilities, and represents a modern industry in which computer-aided production systems are rapidly developing and environmentally friendly manufacturing practices are widely adopted. The Turkish apparel and ready-to-wear industry is highly successful in the production of high value-added branded products in terms of quality, efficiency, original design, marketing, and distribution channels. Moreover, with its strong export performance, the sector is Türkiye's leading industry in generating a foreign trade surplus. Since the early 1980s, the driving force behind Türkiye's export-oriented growth has been the apparel and ready-to-wear sector, operating in close synergy with the Turkish textile industry.
