The Turkish jewellery industry reported a more than twofold increase in overseas sales in January, with the United Arab Emirates proving to be the biggest buyer.
Jewellery exports in January 2025 came to over $1 billion, according to data issued by the Türkiye Exporters Assembly (TİM). This is up from $458 million in January 2024, putting the sector well on the way to eclipsing last year’s total exports of $7.5 billion.
Turkey posted record-high January export figures across the board, with overseas sales topping $21 billion, a 6 per cent increase on the same month in 2024, the TİM report showed.
However, this was offset by a 10 per cent rise in imports, with inbound trade totalling $29 billion for January.
