The automotive industry exported $27.2 billion worth of goods in the first eight months of 2026, achieving its highest-ever January-August performance, according to data from the Türkiye Exporters Assembly (TIM).
The automotive industry maintained its strong export performance during the eight-month period despite challenges in global trade, fluctuations in demand conditions and supply chain disruptions caused by geopolitical tensions in the Middle East.
Automotive exports increased 2.5 percent in January-August to $27.2 billion, marking the sector’s highest-ever performance for the period. The industry’s share of Türkiye’s total exports was 14.7 percent.
