The automotive sector started to develop in Turkey in the early 1960s and has since become one of the country's most important industrial and export sectors. Turkey's geographical proximity to Europe and Asia, its Customs Union with the European Union, competitive production costs, developed sub-industry infrastructure, and incentives provided to the sector have played a significant role in its growth. Today, the Turkish automotive sector possesses a broad ecosystem comprising main industry manufacturers, a strong sub-industry, supply chains, distributors, and dealer networks, making it a significant part of the global automotive value chain.

However, the automotive sector is undergoing a radical transformation due to developments such as electrification, autonomous driving, connected vehicle technologies, digitalization, sustainability, and supply chain transformation. Electric vehicles, battery technologies, software, and mobility solutions are shaping the future of the industry, while currency exchange rates, financing costs, raw material and energy prices, and supply chain risks have significant impacts on the financial performance of industry companies.

Its location at the crossroads of Europe and Asia, allowing for diverse tourism types such as sea, cultural, nature, health, winter, and gastronomy tourism simultaneously, makes Turkey one of the advantageous countries in terms of tourism. Having hosted numerous civilizations throughout history further enhances Turkey's cultural diversity and appeal for tourism.

The tourism sector has gained significant momentum, especially since the 1980s, and has become one of the important sources of income for the Turkish economy over time. Although the number of tourists and tourism revenues have increased significantly over the years, and periodic global crises, natural disasters, or geopolitical risks have caused fluctuations in the sector, the sector has maintained its growth trend in the long term.
