      <title>Turkiye’s apparel exports slip 7.2% in Q1 on soft demand</title>
      <link>https://www.fibre2fashion.com/news/textile-news/turkiye-s-apparel-exports-slip-7-2-in-q1-on-soft-demand-310018-newsdetails.htm</link>
      <description>Turkiye’s apparel exports fell 7.24 per cent in Q1 2026, extending a three-year decline driven by weak EU demand, high costs and currency volatility.
Both knits and wovens contracted, with sharper drops in March signalling slowing orders.
Persistent structural pressures and a shift towards lower-cost sourcing markets continue to erode competitiveness.</description>
