The short answer: Manufacturing is 17.6% of gross value added in Türkiye (2025) and employs about 5,998,700 people. Loaded labour cost in manufacturing is 8.20 EUR/h (2025), which is the number that turns an hour of downtime into money. Typical OEE in the country's leading sectors runs 40–92%; the sector world-class targets are in the table below.

Leading sectors and the OEE ranges that apply

The first columns are Türkiye's own sector mix (TÜİK (Türkiye İstatistik Kurumu / TurkStat)). The OEE columns are the oee-benchmark.org editorial ranges for that sector type: they are benchmarks for plants, not national statistics.

Editor's note

Türkiye combines a large manufacturing base with the lowest labour cost in the Eurostat comparison set, which is why wiring harnesses, textiles and automotive supply have moved there. Robot density is not published by the IFR for 2024. OEE is used as the English acronym in Turkish plants; the useful comparison is by sector, with automotive assembly at 70–85% and textile lines at 40–60%.

How to use this benchmark

Measure first. Log availability, performance and quality per line for four weeks before comparing with the sector ranges; a benchmark without your own baseline is a guess.

Compare within your sector, not with the national average. A packaging line at 72% may be world-class; a bottling line at 72% has room.

Price the gap. Use the calculator with your own labour cost and margin, then check the incentives table: several programmes fund the sensors and software that close it.

Frequently asked questions

What is a good OEE in Türkiye?

There is no national OEE statistic: OEE is measured per line, and the useful comparison is by sector. For Türkiye's leading sectors the typical range is 40–92% and the world-class targets are listed above. Most plants that start measuring sit near 60%.

Where do these figures come from?

Manufacturing weight, employment, labour cost, energy price and robot density come from official statistics (TÜİK (Türkiye İstatistik Kurumu / TurkStat), Eurostat, the World Bank and the IFR); every figure links to the page it was read from. The OEE ranges are oee-benchmark.org editorial benchmarks.

What is in the Türkiye benchmark pack?

An Excel workbook with the country profile and sources, the hub table, the sector OEE ranges, a downtime-cost calculator with the national defaults already filled in, and the incentives and events lists. It is free; we ask for a work email.
