Türkiye’s apparel exports fall 4.6% in Jan-May amid weak global demand

Türkiye’s apparel exports fell 4.59 per cent year on year to $6.464 billion in January-May 2026 as weak demand continued to weigh on shipments.
The slowdown deepened in May, when exports dropped 13.85 per cent after April’s brief recovery, amid cautious global buying, smaller orders, and rising competition from lower-cost sourcing destinations.
