According to Turkey's Manufacturing PMI data, the headline PMI fell from 49.1 in December to 48 in January. The Turkish manufacturing industry has shown signs of slowdown in the first month of 2025, impacted by ongoing stagnation in demand conditions.

PLASFED Board Chairman Ömer Karadeniz stated that it is worrying that this indicator has remained below the threshold level for nearly a year, citing factors such as tight financing conditions, geopolitical tensions, and trade protectionism as weakening the manufacturing industry. Emphasizing that development cannot occur without production, Karadeniz urged for solutions to the problems faced by manufacturers and highlighted that the stagnation in the demand environment is also reflected in the data for new orders according to the PMI data.
