Executive summary

Impact of the economic crisis

The global economic crisis started to have an impact on consumer demand in the Turkish market in the fourth quarter of 2008. By the end of the year, some major manufacturers ceased production and started to reduce their labour forces in order to survive the crisis. Most retailers undertook promotions and discount sales to offload the previous year’s stocks. Their sales through outlet centres also experienced notable increases. The effect of the crisis showed itself in the decline of unit prices, but its main impact is expected to be seen during 2009, which is considered as a lost year in the industry. Experts are hopeful that 2010 will be a brighter year, in terms of both production and retail sales.

Development of shopping centres

The shopping centre market in Turkey has seen significant development during 2007–2008. The number of centres increased, as Istanbul led the way with 61, while the number is expected to reach 139 by the end of 2012. While the development of shopping centres is still focused on Istanbul, they are now opening in other cities as well. Ankara, Izmir, Bursa and Antalya all have significant numbers of shopping centres.

Shopping centres are now seen not only as places to buy goods but also as places to socialise. People make their weekend plans around shopping malls, where they can do their shopping, go to a cinema and have lunch in the same place.

Asian products on the market

Asian products, especially those from China, found a place in both the clothing and footwear markets. Even though Asian clothing and footwear products are of lower quality than others, they are popular on account of their competitive prices. Textile quotas imposed on Chinese products by the Turkish government were abandoned in February 2009. In order to limit the market penetration of Chinese products, the Turkish government launched a procedure that required them to apply for certification.

Dashing retail landscape

The entry of new international brands to the Turkish market has been a key feature of the period 2007–2008. Foreign investors’ interest in the Turkish market remains strong. Apart from the brands such as Bershka, The Gap and Banana Republic, international luxury brands have entered the Turkish market as well.

The trend began with the appearance of Harvey Nichols at the Kanyon Shopping Centre in 2006, which was followed by the opening of Dolce & Gabbana, Fendi and Yves Saint Laurent, among others, in 2007. In 2008, Berluti, Marni, Dsquared2, Lanvin and Sergio Rossi opened their stores in Turkey’s first high street renovation project in Akaretler, Istanbul. In order to survive in this more competitive market, domestic players increased their focus on design, advertising and enhancing awareness of their brands. Domestic brands started to produce more modern designs than in previous years in order to target the country’s young population.

Future of clothing and footwear

The textiles industry forms a major resource and plays a substantial role in generating employment in the Turkish economy. Following the financial crisis that hit the country at the end of 2008, the sector faced a significant decline, especially on the production side. The Turkish government has prepared an action plan to provide support for the textiles, ready-to-wear and leather sectors. Manufacturers with 30 employees or more benefit from 50% energy support, exemptions from value added tax (VAT) and customs duties, interest rate subsidies, discounts on social security payments, etc. This package of incentives, which is expected to support the whole of the clothing and footwear industry in terms of production, export and domestic sales, will be available throughout the forecast period.

Clothing and footwear are both among the last sectors to be affected by economic crises, since they provide essential items for everyday life. Both sectors are therefore strongly expected to recover more quickly than many others within Turkey.
