The textile sector has the
2nd highest share in the Turkish economy and it has strategic
importance for Turkey. It is required that the companies should increase their
capacity, develop new strategies and try to keep their places in the industry. In
this project, it is aimed to develop strategies
that will provide sectoral development for the clothing industry.
The scientific impact is that there is no
comprehensive study including sector analysis for the clothing industry in the
literature. The strategies to be developed in this study are very important for
the sector. Economically, the strategies that will be developed in this project
will help the companies to move their places to the better places in the global
environment. Also the needs and the problems of the industry will be determined
within this study.
In this study, first of all current situation analysis and the capacity analysis of the clothing
industry is critical to analyse and understand the current situation of the
sector. In this study, Istanbul apparel industry will be evaluated. Istanbul has
a very important role regarding Turkish clothing industry, since 70.8% of all
apparel exports are made by Istanbul clothing companies. Then classification of
the product, machine, and workforce by using the sector-level capacity analyses
will be made. Determination of the important strategies and evaluations based
on specified criteria will be conducted using appropriate data collection and
analyses tools. Determination of globalization strategies and industry success
variables for the Turkish clohing industry will be the last stage for this
study.
There will be an innovation by analysing the
capacity, making a classification of companies and analysing the strategies
based on up to date information considering clothing companies’ capacity levels
and requirements. The study also will be the basis for the new studies in the
future.
