Time to Move Clothes Production to Turkey!

Why Turkey Might Be the Smartest Manufacturing Alternative Amid U.S.-China Trade Tensions

With the U.S. imposing up to 140% customs duties on products imported from China, many brands are rethinking their sourcing strategies. The uncertainties surrounding international trade policies have put pressure on businesses to seek more stable and flexible manufacturing partners—and Turkey has quickly emerged as a promising alternative.

Why Brands Are Rethinking Production in China

High tariffs, rising labor costs, and shipping delays have made sourcing from China increasingly difficult. Especially for small and medium-sized businesses, these challenges can severely affect profit margins and delivery times. Brands that once relied heavily on Chinese production are now exploring new regions where manufacturing remains efficient, affordable, and reliable.

Turkey: A Strategic and Smart Option

Here’s why Turkey is becoming a go-to destination for apparel manufacturing:

• Favorable Trade Terms: Unlike China, Turkey is not subject to the recent U.S. tariff increases. This makes Turkish-made products significantly more cost-effective.
• Geographical Advantage: Turkey’s location offers easy access to both European and Middle Eastern markets, reducing lead times.
• Strong Textile Heritage: With decades of expertise, Turkish manufacturers offer high-quality production with skilled craftsmanship.
• Flexible MOQs: Turkish producers are known for working with lower minimum order quantities, making them ideal for start-ups and growing brands.
• Sustainability Focus: Many Turkish manufacturers are investing in eco-friendly practices and sustainable fabric sourcing, aligning with global consumer trends.
