Value Added Production - The Case of Türkiye
Türkiye has developed into one of the few one-stop-shop, state of the art garment production centers in the world. It is already known by its European customers as being able to deliver not just the product, but also the value-added services that are to an increasing extent needed in our industry. Türkiye has invested heavily in the design capability of its garment manufacturers, enabling customers to outsource part of the design function. It has its own broad fabric and accessory base, reducing costs of raw material sourcing and enhancing speed, flexibility, and transparency. The Turkish textile industry has invested strongly in the production of more sustainable materials and particularly in its recycling capability. And the digital capability of manufacturers is a growing source of value addition for buyers. Recently, the Istanbul Apparel Exporters Association (IHKIB) has built, together with McKinsey, a major industry digitalization project.
