The manufacturing industry in Turkey operated at 73.9% of its production capacity in July 2026, easing from a one-year high of 74.5% in the previous month.
This marked the lowest rate since April, driven mainly by investment goods, where capacity utilization fell to 71.2% from 73.4%, pointing to softer activity in capital-intensive industries.
Durable consumer goods also declined to 67.1% from 67.9%, while overall consumer goods utilization eased to 71.4% from 71.8%.
Non-durable consumer goods slipped to 72.3% from 72.6%, and food and beverages fell to 72.0% from 72.5%.
Meanwhile, intermediate goods remained the strongest-performing category, edging down slightly to 74.9% from 75.0%.
