With the Stability Measures of January 24, 1980, Turkey abandoned the import-substituting industrialization policy and adopted an export-based industrialization policy. This new policy has caused a great change in Turkey's foreign trade volume and all other macroeconomic indicators. This change has accelerated with the 2001 financial crisis that emerged in Turkey and the structural reforms implemented after it. The new policies led to a fundamental transformation in the economy, contributing in part to stabilization. However, this transformation process could not solve many basic problems such as the increase in the foreign trade deficit in the country compared to the previous year, the decrease in the unemployment rate despite high growth, and the decrease in imported intermediate goods input. However, it has contributed to the increase of competitiveness. Again, in recent years, global trends have become increasingly evident and the national currency's inability to maintain its value against foreign currency has made these problems more complex. This study mainly aims to analyze the development of production and foreign trade, which are generally accepted as the locomotive of growth, in the Turkish economy, as well as the transformation on a sectoral basis, especially in the last ten years (2010-2019). In line with this purpose, Turkey's increasing demand for intermediate goods and the reasons for the change in foreign trade on a sectoral basis have been tried to be clarified.
