"2028 TARGET: $20 BILLION!
The furniture, paper, and forest products sector has achieved significant success in the last 14 years and has increased its support to the Turkish economy through exports.
In 2008, the sector's exports were $2.6 billion, and its share in Turkey's total exports was 1.9%. By 2010, this figure had risen to $2.9 billion, with a share of 2.57% in total exports. In 2022, the furniture, paper, and forest products sector achieved exports worth $8.4 billion and set a target of $20 billion for 2028. We continue to work towards increasing our current share of 3.3% in total exports to 5% by 2028.
When we look at the numbers specifically for the furniture industry, we see that it continues to play a significant role in this growth story. Between 2008 and 2022, the furniture industry's share of exports increased from 0.9% to 1.9%. Exports, which were $1.1 billion in 2008, reached $4.8 billion in 14 years. The 2028 export target set by the Turkish furniture industry for its sector is $12 billion."
