The year 2024 was quite dynamic for the global economy, with significant progress made despite many challenges. Central banks implemented tight monetary policies to control inflation, while regional tensions continued to affect energy markets, prompting many countries to accelerate investments in renewable energy. The digital economy became a major driver of growth, especially in the Asia-Pacific region. Post-pandemic supply chain issues persisted, particularly in the technology sector with chip shortages. Additionally, the economic cost of increasing natural disasters and climate change led to problems such as droughts in agriculture and rising food prices. Overall, despite its difficulties, 2024 saw notable advancements in areas like digitalization and renewable energy. In the 3th quarter of 2025, however, uncertainties caused by trade wars and geopolitical tensions are limiting global growth.
While global trade remains flat, the Turkish economy has shown signs of slowing down since the first quarter of 2024, with reduced growth momentum. Measures taken to combat high inflation have led to economic deceleration and a contraction in domestic demand. Rising regional tensions, exchange rate policies, and high energy costs have introduced new risks in export markets, increasing uncertainty for both the Turkish economy and the cable sector.
Although the construction sector gained momentum due to urban transformation and reconstruction efforts following the major earthquake disaster, the simultaneous increase in interest rates as part of inflation control measures has made financial conditions and access to credit more difficult. This has caused the sector, which had outperformed the general economy throughout the year, to experience a volatile trajectory.
The insufficient domestic market demand that has persisted since the first quarter of 2024 has led to increased competition in the cable sector, while price fluctuations, longer payment terms, and delayed payments have driven the sector toward exports. This trend in the domestic market and the pressure on prices are expected to continue for some time. Influenced by this effect, cable sector exports rose by 16% in the first nine months of 2025 compared to the same period last year, reaching \$2.86 billion, which is a significant value for the Turkish economy. However, developments in export markets and embargoes resulting from high regional geopolitical tensions are affecting companies' export
performance. On the other hand, the tightening of bank lending in financial markets and the significant decline in their appetite for lending, coupled with the very high interest rates on the limited amount of credit available, are negatively affecting the operating profitability of companies in the sector, which already operate with very low profit margins.
In addition to the uncertainty surrounding the upcoming period, fluctuations in raw material, energy, and logistics costs, trade wars, supply chain issues caused by geopolitical risks, and high inflation are creating significant pressure on the cable industry, which imports a large proportion of its raw materials. The cable industry is negatively affected by currency movements because metals such as copper and aluminum, as well as polymer materials such as PVC and polyethylene, used in cable production are traded in foreign currency. Under conditions where a large portion of costs are in foreign currency and sales are in Turkish Lira and on credit, such fluctuations are wearing down the industry.
Despite the global and domestic economic slowdown, the continued daily increase in the use of renewable energy sources in Turkey and, consequently, Turkey's emergence as a key player in the region's energy sector are positively supporting the development of the cable industry. As green economy, energy transition, and carbon reduction targets take their place as the most important issues on the business agenda in our lives; companies that invest in new environmentally conscious products and systems, have a sense of responsibility towards the universe, focus on renewable energy projects that benefit both the world and the industry, have a sustainability perspective, can develop commercial policies addressing climate change, and focus on sustainability in all their work will be the companies least affected by global developments and serving the industry in the longer term.
Cables are required to have features such as not endangering human life and property, having improved fire resistance, and being designed to transmit more data faster and in less space. Leading cable manufacturers, manufacturer associations, and relevant official institutions and organizations in our country have also launched a serious fight against non-standard cables. In order to live in a safer and more efficient world, efforts continue to promote the selection of high-performance solutions that offer advantages in terms of total cost, raise industry awareness about the correct use of cables, conduct market surveillance and inspection activities to ensure that cables used in the market comply with standards, and increase awareness regarding the inconsistencies in the quality of some cables sold in Turkey.
Türk Prysmian Kablo aims to increase its competitive power in the energy and telecommunication cables industry, offering users of cutting edge technologies the opportunity to take the advantage of its leadership in innovation and development, and is working on efficient, effective, superior and ecofriendly products and system solutions. The Research & Development (R&D) Centre in Mudanya, both it is an R&D center approved by the Turkish Ministry of Industry and Technology and one of the 26 centers of Prysmian R&D family that plays a leading role internationally in cable production and material technologies. Owing to its comprehensive infrastructure and operations, Mudanya R&D Centre is also the pioneer of the Turkish Cable Industry.
Established on an area of 5 thousand square meters and comprised of 6 separate departments, the R&D Centre encompasses a Material Technologies Laboratory, a Burn Test Laboratory, an Energy Cable Testing Laboratory, a Telecom and Fiber Cables Testing Laboratory as well as a Design and Innovation Office and a Process Design and Prototype Development Office. The R&D Centre holds the TS EN ISO /IEC 17025 Standard "General Requirements for the Competence of Testing and Calibration Laboratories", and the Private Sector Burn Test Laboratory has been the first lab accredited by the Turkish Accreditation Agency (TURKAK) in Turkey to possess the infrastructure prescribed by "CRP - Construction Products Regulation".
As a result of its research and product development activities, Türk Prysmian Kablo, which is the first company in the Turkish Cable Industry to receive the CPR certificate and pioneers the sector with its expertise in this field, continues its CPR studies uninterruptedly. Cables with high-level CPR performance have been developed to meet the increasing CPR demands in the railway industry. The high-level combustion performance of the cables used in facilities that receive investment such as renewable energy generation plants and Data Centres is expected to be in B2 and C CPR class and at the same time drop class d0 and d1. Similarly, the use of cables with high-level CPR performance is becoming widespread in petrochemical plants. In this scope, we continue to develop innovative materials. New CPR families were created in control, instrumentation and energy cable groups and certification studies were carried out.
In order to increase export markets, our certification activities for low voltage energy cables gained momentum and VDE certificate was received. In addition to our existing certificates for ship cables, we are working to receive Lloyd's Register certification.
Big data management issues are increasing in importance day by day. In this field, large data centers are being established in many countries. Studies on both energization and data transfer have been initiated to meet the needs of data centers. The demands in the European market are targeted in this sector.
In the railway sector, research and development activities were carried out, new product groups were developed and necessary approvals were received in order to export cables to large markets such as America, Europe, Asia and Australia. We continue our efforts to increase product range and reach new markets.
Innovative product development efforts were continued by carrying out joint projects with the central R&D in fiber optic cable solutions. Within the scope of these works, our efforts to increase the number of fibres per mm2 continue.
Within the scope of research projects, meetings were held with UEDAŞ, an electricity distribution company in Bursa, with the aim of identifying solutions to sectoral needs and making significant contributions to R&D activities in this context. In addition, an R&D Day event was held; during this event, cable types were shared in detail with the sales unit, workflows were evaluated, and ideas were exchanged for optimization, thereby strengthening the interaction between R&D and other business units. This event directly contributed to product development processes by increasing internal knowledge sharing.
Our R&D center continues its work intensively in the field of sustainability. A multi-layered study has been initiated for a more sustainable product. The carbon footprint of the products is calculated and new materials and technologies are researched to reduce it. All toxic products that harm the environment are monitored within the scope of REACH and RoHS and in candidate lists, and this information is used in material technologies, but the products on these lists are not used. Work on renewable energy cables and high-efficiency cables, which are important within the scope of sustainability, continues. The aim is to lead the industry towards a genuine, standardised and acceptable green labelling system. The aim of this system is to identify truly green products and provide reliable information to customers. By referencing green labelling (E-Path) criteria, it is intended to create a common language for environmentally friendly best practices throughout the supply chain. Our work for the classification of cables within the scope of E-Path has been completed.
Increasing its investment in technology and innovation with Mudanya R&D Centre, Türk Prysmian Kablo aims to improve the competitiveness of our country by bringing users together with technological innovations and high-performance products. In line with this vision, it has been operating in the first R&D Centre approved by the Ministry of Science, Industry and Technology in the cable sector since 2016. In addition to innovation and product development studies, it has 7 completed Tübitak Projects and 11 patents. Cooperation with universities continues to increase. In this scope, our university-industry cooperation has gained momentum as the newly recruited R&D personnel have started their master's degree education. Within the scope of the R&D centre, we have 9 projects completed as of 2024 and 14 ongoing projects as of 2025.
Türk Prysmian Kablo continues to produce innovative solutions that prioritize high performance, efficiency and security in its R&D Center. State-of-the-art, user-friendly, high-performance solutions are developed in energy, fiber and communication cables, with features suitable for a wide range of challenging geographies, environmental and usage conditions, according to the user and industry market. Among these developed solutions, special distribution signal cables, low voltage and fiber optic cables for the petrochemical industry, minitube fiber optic cables, defense industry and wagon cables, explosion-resistant fiber optic and special cables for the petrochemical industry can be highlighted. Additionally, as a result of the importance Türk Prysmian Kablo attaches to product and test reliability, the number of national and international tests included in the scope of accreditation by the Turkish Accreditation Agency (TÜRKAK) has increased to 29 and scope development efforts are continuing.
In September 2025, the Central Bank decided to reduce the policy interest rate from 43% to 40.5%. The September Monetary Policy Committee minutes assessed that the underlying trend of inflation slowed in August, growth in the second quarter exceeded forecasts, and final domestic demand remained weak. It was stated that inflation expectations and pricing behaviors, along with global developments, continue to pose a risk to the disinflation process. According to data from the Turkish Statistical Institute (TÜİK), inflation stood at 3.23% on a monthly basis in September 2025, while it reached 33.29% on an annual basis.
The change in the CPI in September 2025 was a 25.43% increase compared to December of the previous year and a 38.36% increase compared to the twelve-month average.
The annual changes in the three main expenditure groups with the highest weight were as follows: a 36.06% increase in food and non-alcoholic beverages, a 25.30% increase in transportation, and a 51.36% increase in housing. The effects of the relevant main groups on the annual change were 8.60% for food and non-alcoholic beverages, 4.15% for transportation, and 7.85% for housing.
The Domestic Producer Price Index (Yİ-ÜFE) increased by 2.52% compared to the previous month and by 26.59% compared to the same month of the previous year in September 2025. The annual changes in the four sectors of industry were as follows: a 28.73% increase in mining and quarrying, a 26.63% increase in manufacturing, a 23.81% increase in electricity, gas production, and distribution, and a 55.03% increase in water supply.
On the other hand, the Foreign Producer Price Index (YD-ÜFE) increased by 2.01% compared to the previous month and by 27.71% compared to the same month of the previous year in September 2025. The annual changes in the two sectors of industry were as follows: a 27.06% increase in mining and quarrying, and a 27.72% increase in manufacturing. In terms of growth, GDP grew by 4.8% in the second quarter of 2025. Adjusted for seasonal and calendar effects, GDP
increased by 1.6% in the second quarter of 2025 compared to the previous quarter.
The consumer confidence index, calculated based on the results of the consumer sentiment survey conducted in collaboration with the Turkish Statistical Institute and the Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey, decreased by 0.3% in October to 83.6, down from 83.9 in September.
According to data from the Ministry of Trade, in September 2025, compared to the same month last year, exports increased by 3.0% to \$22.607 billion, while imports increased by 8.8% to \$29.492 billion. In the January-September period of 2025, exports increased by 4.1% to \$200 billion 625 million, while imports increased by 5.9% to \$267 billion 651 million. The foreign trade deficit for the January-September period of 2025 increased by 11.8% compared to the same period of the previous year, reaching \$67 billion. In September 2025, the ratio of exports to imports decreased by 4.3 points compared to the same month of the previous year, reaching 76.7%.
The seasonally adjusted unemployment rate in Turkey stood at 8.6% in September 2025. According to data published by the European Union Statistics Office (Eurostat), the seasonally adjusted unemployment rate in the Eurozone rose to 6.3% in August 2025. During the same period, the US unemployment rate was recorded at 4.3%.
In global economies, the US Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose by 0.3% on a monthly basis in September, while showing an increase of 3% on an annual basis, below expectations. Annual inflation in the Eurozone stood at 2.2% in September 2025. Services contributed most to the Eurozone's annual inflation rate in September, followed by food, alcohol and tobacco products, non-energy industrial goods, and energy.
At the Monetary Policy Committee meeting held in September, it was noted that uncertainty surrounding global trade policies remained high, while the limited improvement in the global growth outlook continued. The deterioration in the global demand outlook continued to put downward pressure on crude oil prices, while energy commodity prices declined during the current MPC period. Uncertainties regarding the trade and economic policies that the US and other countries will pursue in the coming period, as well as geopolitical risks, are seen as prominent risk factors for the course of global economic activity. Risks to inflation remain valid on a global scale, and central banks are continuing to cut interest rates in light of these risks. While portfolio inflows into emerging market economies continue, high levels of global uncertainty and geopolitical developments are keeping downside risks to portfolio movements alive.
According to the results of the CBRT Market Participants Survey dated September, the year-end inflation expectation for 2025, which recorded a limited increase from 29.66% in August to 29.69%, rose to 29.86% in the September survey, increasing for the second consecutive month. Meanwhile, market participants' 12-month-ahead CPI expectation fell from 22.84% to 22.25%, while the 24-month-ahead CPI expectation declined from 16.92% to 16.78%.
