Turkey serves as a strategic bridge between European and Asian automotive markets, possessing a robust manufacturing base. The demand for powder metallurgy parts has surged as local OEMs shift toward lightweighting to meet stringent EU emission standards, requiring components with higher strength-to-weight ratios.
The regional industry faces unique challenges, including fluctuating raw material costs and the need for rapid digitalization. Local manufacturers are increasingly adopting powder metal products to reduce machining waste and lower production costs in the competitive engine parts sector.
With the growth of the automotive cluster in Bursa and Kocaeli, there is a significant trend toward replacing traditional cast components with high-precision PM parts, ensuring tighter tolerances for internal combustion engine (ICE) components and hybrid powertrains.
