Growth came mainly from the large power classes: the segment above 2,001 kVA grew 49% and the 751\u20132,000 kVA segment 21%. Regionally, Eastern Europe grew 47%, Southeast Asia and Oceania 46% and North America 44%, while the commercial and industrial gas generator market rose 35% to USD 2 billion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u201cThe world has entered a new era of energy security. Data centers growing rapidly with artificial intelligence, hospitals, industrial facilities and critical infrastructure need uninterrupted power more than ever. The fact that almost all of the 21% growth in the global market came from the large power classes is the clearest sign of this. The Turkish generator industry is one of the few countries able to meet this demand with high quality, fast delivery and engineering strength.\u201d<\/p><cite>Burak Ba\u015fe\u011fmezler, Chairman of the Board, JENDER<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Exports to close to 180 countries<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to TurkStat data, T\u00fcrkiye&#8217;s generator exports rose 8.6% year on year in the first seven months of 2026 to USD 313.6 million. Diesel generator exports increased 26.7% to USD 278.5 million. With imports down 5%, the sector&#8217;s trade surplus reached USD 179.5 million, the highest level in five years, and the export-to-import coverage ratio was 234%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">July exports of USD 52.1 million were the best July performance of the past five years. Exports in the 750\u20132,000 kVA class rose 35% to USD 74 million, and in the 100\u2013375 kVA class 45% to USD 68.3 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u201cOur members represent around 85% of the sector, and over the past five years we have exported to close to 180 countries. From Ukraine to Central Asia, from North Africa to the Gulf and the European Union, Turkish generators secure the power supply of critical facilities across a wide geography. Increasing our exports to Saudi Arabia by around 50% while the Middle East contracted 30% in the global market shows the resilience and competitiveness of our sector.\u201d<\/p><cite>Burak Ba\u015fe\u011fmezler, Chairman of the Board, JENDER<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Target 2027: Europe&#8217;s largest generator production base<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u201cOur goal is clear: in 2027 we will make T\u00fcrkiye Europe&#8217;s largest generator production base. Data center, defence and critical infrastructure investments are rising fast in Europe; shifting supply chains to reliable and nearby geographies is no longer a choice but a necessity. With its proximity to Europe, flexible production structure and proven competence in the large power class, T\u00fcrkiye is the natural address for this transformation. To reach this goal, we need to grow capacity investments in the high power class, R&amp;D, localisation and skilled human resources together.\u201d<\/p><cite>Burak Ba\u015fe\u011fmezler, Chairman of the Board, JENDER<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">An export record expected in 2026<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to JENDER&#8217;s projection based on TurkStat data, if the average seasonal trend of the past four years holds, the sector&#8217;s exports are expected to reach around USD 577 million by the end of 2026.
