Global carmakers increased sales <\/a>in 2025, yet profitability came under pressure as intensified competition, pricing constraints and the costly transition to electric vehicles weighed on balance sheets.<\/p>\n T\u00fcrkiye<\/a> mirrored this global trend. Despite record-breaking sales, net profits of six automotive<\/a> companies listed on Borsa \u0130stanbul fell by 37.4 percent to 44.6 billion Turkish Liras.<\/p>\n The Turkish automotive market expanded by 10.49 percent in 2025, surpassing 1.3 million units sold and reaching its highest level in history. However, this surge in volume did not translate into proportional profit growth. The combined net profit of Do\u011fu\u015f Otomotiv, Ford Otosan, Karsan Otomotiv, Otokar, Tofa\u015f T\u00fcrk Otomobil Fabrikas\u0131, and T\u00fcrk Trakt\u00f6r dropped from 71.3 billion liras in 2024 to 44.6 billion liras in 2025. Anadolu Isuzu and T\u00fcmosan have yet to release their financial results and were not included in the tally.<\/p>\n Five key factors eroded profitability: Intensifying competition in the domestic market, rising costs from imported vehicles and parts despite supportive export revenues from EUR\/TL movements, margin pressure from the growing share of electric vehicles, higher borrowing and financing expenses, and the disappearance of deferred tax income that had boosted 2024 results.<\/p>\n Among the listed firms, only Tofa\u015f and Karsan managed to increase net profits. Tofa\u015f posted a 22.2 percent rise, climbing to 8.3 billion liras, while Karsan boosted its earnings by 74.6 percent to 179 million liras. Otokar reduced its losses significantly, narrowing from 4 billion liras in 2024 to 1.4 billion liras in 2025.<\/p>\n The steepest decline came from T\u00fcrk Trakt\u00f6r, whose net profit plunged 93.9 percent to 455 million liras. Do\u011fu\u015f Otomotiv\u2019s earnings fell 69.2 percent to 3 billion liras, while Ford Otosan reported 33.9 billion liras in net profit, down 33.1 percent year-on-year. Ford Otosan\u2019s decline was largely attributed to the disappearance of deferred tax income recorded in 2024, which turned into a tax expense of approximately 4.4 billion liras in 2025.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/strong> <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" ISTANBUL Global carmakers<\/span> increased sales in 2025, yet … sales, net profits of six automotive<\/span> companies listed on Borsa \u00c4\u00b0stanbul … billion Turkish Liras.
