The growth trajectory has been strong throughout the year. In January 2025, the sector’s exports grew by 16 per cent compared to the same month in the previous year, reaching $383.15 million. February 2025 saw an even more significant surge, with exports increasing by 44 per cent, hitting $434 million. 

These figures highlight Türkiye’s growing strength in the defence and aerospace industry, with the sector consistently outperforming previous records and solidifying its position in the global market. The Turkish government's continued investment in advanced technologies and innovation in defense manufacturing appears to be paying off as demand for Turkish defense products rises.
