the Turkish Textile and Clothing Industry in the Enlarged EU Market

In this paper, Turkey's comparative advantage and competitiveness in the textile and clothing industries are analysed by using Balassa's revealed comparative advantage index and Vollrath's indices of competitive advantage for the period of 1988-2008 in the enlarged EU market. The results revealed that Turkey has overall a strong comparative advantage and competitiveness in textile and clothing in the EU market. All competitiveness indices for the years 2005-2008 showed an increasing trend for the textile industry and a decreasing trend for clothing. The decrease in the competitiveness of clothing was observed more intensively in the enlarged EU market compared to that of the EU12. These findings can be thus interpreted: the Turkish textile industry responded well to the elimination of quotas, while the clothing sector has been more vulnerable to the inclusion of low-cost labour countries in the market since 2005

China, Germany and Turkey

In this study, the comparative advantage of four countries in the world: Bangladesh, China, Germany and Turkey is analysed with respect to the US and the EU-15 textiles and clothing markets by employing Balassa's revealed comparative advantage (RCA) index for the period 2000-2010. This country selection was made because all these countries rank in the top ten textile and clothing exporters in the world and they represent economies from four different income levels. The results have revealed that Bangladesh, China and Turkey have a strong comparative advantage in both the textile and clothing markets of the world, the US and the EU-15, while Germany has no significant comparative advantage in any of these markets. The findings show that the Bangladesh clothing industry has a substantially higher comparative advantage in all three markets compared to the other countries. It has also been found that Turkish textiles show the strongest comparative advantage in all three markets, whereas the comparative advantage of Chinese textiles indicates a slightly increasing trend in all aforementioned markets
