Clothing and textile sector in Turkey is among the largest and best-performing sectors of the Turkish economy, accounting for around 8% of the country's GDP. There are some 60.000 textile and clothing companies operating in the country and they employ around 2,5 million people. In 2016, Turkey ranked 7th and 3th in global cotton production and consumption, respectively. The country ranked third in organic cotton production after India and Syria.

The clothing and textile industry is largely based on cotton. Domestic output does not fully meet demand, which makes Turkey the world's third-largest cotton importer after China and Bangladesh. Clothing and textiles accounted for nearly 20% of Turkey's total exports by volume in 2016.

On the other hand, Italian products of the textile and apparel industry are known worldwide. This sector has attracted a great deal of attention because it is rare for a wealthy and developed country to specialize heavily in fashion-oriented as well as semi-customized industrial products and base its production system on small and very small companies.

The Italian textile sector has reached 35 billion $ trade volume in 2016. They exported almost 20 billion $ of goods all around the world and imported almost 15 billion $.
