Abstract
The paper analyzed the textile sector and the factors affecting it using Porter's Diamond and showed there are strong points such as labor force availability, average labor costs, raw materials, and geographical location, and weak indicators related to research and innovation. Research showed that Turkey has a large local market and attractive to competitors. It is a strong point to strengthen its future competitiveness and needs more effort to meet its needs. This sector ranks ninth in the world in the volume of textile imports. The competitiveness report showed the weakness of some indicators in Turkey which affect the Turkish economy in general, including the textile sector, such as indicators related to the legal framework and the independence of the judiciary, while ranking among best countries in the index of investor protection and the intensity of local competition.
