TURKEY HOUSEHOLD APPLIANCES, PARTS AND COMPONENTS MARKET RESEARCH  

 

PRODUCTION 

 

From Assembly-Line to Original Design and Technology

The Turkish household appliances sector started production as an assembly industry in

the 1950s. The first product was manufactured in 1955 and the first Turkish-made

refrigerator was on the market in 1960. The Turkish household appliances industry has

achieved tremendous growth since then. Having started out with companies working under

licensing agreements and then passed over to know-how usage, the sector today has

carved out some major success in world markets with its original design and technology.

 

Now, the household appliances industry is one of the well-established and dynamic

sectors in Turkey. The industry is mainly composed of two subsectors; namely, the white

goods (durables) which dominates the sector and the small household appliances.

 

Since the '50s, excluding the crisis periods, production realized by the sector continually

increased. In fact, the increase in population and living standards has resulted in the need

to produce more. With its production capacity of 25 million units and actual production of

21 million units, the white goods industry has become a significant focus of production in

the last 10 years while Turkey has become the leading country in Europe in the white

goods sector. Manufacturing lines are mostly found in the Marmara, Aegean and Central

Anatolian regions of Turkey with the major factories located in İstanbul, Manisa, Eskişehir,

Bolu, Gebze, Bursa, İzmir, Ankara, Kocaeli, Yalova, Kayseri, Konya and Bilecik.

 

In addition to over 50 medium-scale manufacturing companies and the major producers in

the market, there are also around 1,000 supplier companies of parts and components.

About 144 of these supplier firms are organized under the “White Goods Parts Suppliers

Association of Turkey - BEYSAD” while six major producers are the members of the

“White Goods Industrialists Association of Turkey - BESD”. Furthermore, another

association called “Small Domestic Appliances Industrialists Association - KESID” has

been established in the household appliances sector.

 

Turkish household appliances producers have created their original strong brands, leading

to tight consumer-dependence in the domestic market while gaining ground in foreign

markets, mainly in the EU countries. Some of the major brands in the domestic market are:

Arçelik, Beko, Altus, Aygaz, (Arçelik); Profilo, Bosch, Siemens (BSH-Profilo); Ariston,

Philco, Indesit (Merloni); Teba (Teba); Vestel, Regal (Vestel); Demirdöküm (Vaillant), etc.

Turkish consumers, who are always after hot new products, prefer to use their own

domestic household appliances although the doors of Turkey are wide-open to all world

products. This is, in fact, the success of the Turkish household appliances industry which

has a wide product range from refrigerators to electrical shavers, microwaves, table-top

fridges etc. in various colors, dimensions and designs. Product range is wide enough to

supply European markets and satisfy sophisticated European customers. The built-in

appliances category is another rapidly developing product range in Turkey. Built-in

products are all state-of-the-art products whose target group is the high-income class.

Products are designed for full customer satisfaction. Priorities of the end-users are taken

into account in every phase of production and design.

 

Since Turkish manufacturers give high priority to innovation and new product

development, research and development activities are carried out consistently.

Turkish household appliances manufacturers closely follow international and national

developments in environmental issues and comply with environmental legislation and

regulations. On the other hand, new generation products are now more efficient and

energy-saving, allowing a reduction in the amount of water and detergents. Noise emission

is another factor taken into account in the manufacturing process.

 

As for consumer services, end-users are well-served by the after-sales services of the

appliance manufacturers. The household appliances industry follows strict legislation on

after-sales services in Turkey.

 

 Exports

 

The household appliances sector of Turkey has turned its attention to exporting its

products in the last decade. The reasons behind the continuous growth in exports in recent

years are as follows: (the) high-technology used in the production process; attention paid

to research and development activities by Turkish manufacturers and the increase in the

share of these activities within the budget; full comprehension of the ISO Series of quality

standards by manufacturers and the growing efforts to acquire these certificates; the

rising number of Turkish companies which have ISO Certificates; the consideration of

customer preferences in the designing phase; the consideration of the priorities of the

foreign end-users as well as the domestic ones; improved marketing techniques used and

well-established after sales services .

 


Exports of the Turkish household appliances sector have been increasing steadily. In fact,

most of the production is aimed at exports. Refrigerators, washing machines, ovenscookers,

deep freezers and dishwashers are the leading export products of the sector. In

2011, Turkey ranked the 4th in refrigerators, the 5th in dishwashers and the 7th in washing

machines exports worldwide.



Turkish household appliances industry exports its products to 200 customs territories

worldwide. The major exports market for Turkish household appliances industry is the EU.

Viewing the export figures of 2011, it is seen that eight of the biggest fifteen importers are

EU countries. The UK, the major importer country, mainly imports washing machines

($135 million), ovens ($119 million) and refrigerators ($82 million) from Turkey. Exports

realized by Turkish household appliances industry to the EU stood at US $1,75 billion in

2011, covering 63,4% of total appliances exports.

 

Turkish manufacturers are conscious of quality, safety and the environmental aspects of

production. All Turkish manufacturers have affixed the CE Mark to their products both for

exportation to the EU and for the domestic market. At the beginning of 2003, it became

obligatory to fulfill the CE Mark requirements in order to sell products in the Turkish

domestic market. In the meanwhile, Turkish manufacturers closely follow developments in

international quality and environmental standards. The number of companies which have
ISO 9000 Certificates is increasing steadily.

 

Imports


Turkey's imports of the four major household appliances increased in number by 24% last

year while imports of household appliances increased 22,3% in 2010 and 29,4% in 2011,

compared to the figures of the previous year.
