The Turkish White Goods Manufacturers' Association (TÜRKBESD) has announced the sector data for the January-September period of 2026; according to the data, there were significant declines in production, exports, and total sales.

According to data shared by TÜRKBESD, which includes leading companies in the sector such as Arçelik, BSH, Dyson, Electrolux, Haier Europe, Midea Group Turkey, Miele, Samsung, Versuni, and Vestel, domestic sales in the 6 main product groups decreased by 2 percent in the first nine months of the year compared to the same period last year. Exports fell by 17 percent to 12,637,299 units, production volume decreased by 11 percent to 19,773,167 units, and total sales declined by 12 percent to 20,016,756 units.

TÜRKBESD President Alper Şengül stated that the contraction in global markets and the increase in input costs are challenging the sector, emphasizing that supportive measures must be implemented rapidly to maintain competitiveness. The association also expressed that cost factors such as anti-dumping duties on flat steel and the Recovery Participation Share (GEKAP) negatively affect the sector's international competitiveness.
