Turkish manufacturing biz conditions moderate further at Q3 2025 end
The headline manufacturing PMI posted 46.7 in September, down from 47.3 in August to signal a further easing in the health of the manufacturing sector.
Business conditions further moderated at the end of Q3 2025 in the Turkish manufacturing sector, according to manufacturing PMI data from the Istanbul Chamber of Industry.
Firms again recorded slowdowns in new orders and output and were reluctant to commit to hiring or the fresh purchasing of inputs.
Firms were also left with excess finished products, which they added to inventories.
Firms again recorded slowdowns in new orders and output and were reluctant to commit to hiring or the fresh purchasing of inputs, S&P Global Ratings, which compiled the data, said in a release.
Meanwhile, inflationary pressures strengthened, but remained muted relative to the respective series averages.
In fact, business conditions have now moderated on a monthly basis throughout the past year-and-a-half.
Anecdotal evidence from the survey continued to signal a challenging demand environment for firms. This led to further slowdowns in new orders and exports, in turn resulting in a solid scaling back of manufacturing production.
Softer new order inflows meant that manufacturers were able to deplete outstanding business, which was reduced to the largest extent for almost a year. Firms were also left with excess finished products, which they added to inventories, resulting in the first increase in post-production stocks in three months.
Given muted workloads, firms were reluctant to take on additional staff in September, and noted a preference for using existing stocks of inputs to support production over the purchasing of additional materials.
As a result, employment, input buying and pre-production inventories all moderated solidly at the end of the third quarter.
Currency weakness again contributed to a rise in input costs in September. The pace of inflation quickened to a three-month high and was sharp, albeit still weaker than the series average. This was also the case with regards to output prices, which increased at the fastest pace since April.

The conference was attended by the Union Minister for Textiles Giriraj Singh, Minister of State for Textiles Pabitra Margherita, textile and industry ministers, Members of Parliament and senior officials from the North-Eastern states and the Central Government along with representatives of key textile sector institutions.
India’s Ministry of Textiles organised a conclave in Guwahati to boost textile sector growth in the North-Eastern states through policy coordination, investment, skilling, value addition, and market access.
Attended by Union and State ministers and officials, the conclave highlighted the region’s handlooms, silks, GI products, bamboo crafts, and women artisans.
Addressing the conclave, Singh said that the North-Eastern region plays a very integral part of the country’s textile sector and the Union Government is committed to its development.
The North-Eastern Region’s unique strengths—its rich handloom heritage, GI-tagged products, diverse silk varieties, bamboo crafts, and strong participation of women artisans and weavers—were highlighted during the deliberations, the Ministry of Textiles said in a press release.
The conference underscored the need for a coordinated and integrated approach to strengthen value chains, enhance exports, attract investments, and combine traditional skills with modern technology, design innovation, and market linkages.
