Turkiye’s home textile exports to Germany are witnessing headwinds due to economic challenges and may fall below the exports in 2021. High inflation and economic worries across the world are hurting consumers’ purchasing capacity, thus affecting the demand of discretionary products. Home textile exports have fallen from many countries including Turkiye.

Turkiye’s exports to Germany reached $761.958 million in 2021. COVID years of 2020 and 2021 were considered the golden period for home textiles. Home textile’s demand surged during the pandemic as consumers were forced to stay at home due to lockdowns and restrictions. Therefore, the shipment scaled to reach the highest level of the last five years.

The exports jumped to $716.574 million in 2020 from $610.564 million in 2019. They maintained the upward trend since 2018 when the shipment was recorded at $573.544 million. The shipment was noted at $685.424 million during 2017. Turkiye exported home textiles worth $546.831 million to Germany in the first ten months of 2022, according to Fibre2Fashion’s market insight tool TexPro.

Turkiye exported bedroom furnishings worth $235.431 million in 2021, which was the largest product among home textiles with a share of 30.90 per cent of the total exports of $761.958 million. The other major products were flooring items at $160.646 million (21.08 per cent), made ups at $98.089 million (12.87 per cent), bathroom and kitchen products at $94.158 million (12.36 per cent), sacks and bags at $87.788 million (11.52 per cent), window furnishings at $44.722 million (5.87 per cent) and furnishing articles at $33.076 million (4.34 per cent), as per TexPro.
