Sector of textile and ready to wear are known as means of existence in Denizli which is eighth province of Turkey that made maximum export. At the same time maximum land allocation as sectoral in Denizli Organized Industrial Zone take place in textile sector and the fact that cotton which is raw material of textile is too much shows the sector that commercial activities concentrate on. Also the fact that government identifies Denizli as second region within the scope of incentive law cause trouble for producers of region.

Proximity To The Region Provide Advantages

The fact that Denizli is a region that produces cotton and so it is proximity to the raw material; provide advantages for producers in region. Sale and marketing of yarn cost less because of weaving capacity and fabric variety which its majority consist of cottony fabric, in firms that make cottony produce. Textile businessmen have advantages in terms of shipping and transportation. Also it is easy to find employee who have knowledge and experience to make such weaving in Denizli which has a historical background in cotton weaving. Easy contact can be made in sector because market regions of domestic and foreign are known well. Besides such positive effects, the fact that produce depend on completely cotton as raw material create an fear that produce can be effected negatively when  fluctuations occur  in cotton prices the years ahead.

Production group which is worked in ready to wear agencies in Denizli draw attentions as home textiles. Denizli manufacturers who concentrate on   towel and bathrobe produce in home textile group, continue to maximize its production quality. Producers of textile in Denizli who want to be among labels that became popular in sector all around the world, make qualified collections by increasing deficiencies of groundwork and educational levels of employee in outerwear.

Stimulus Package Create Unfair Competition

The fact that Denizli take part in the second region in package which distinguishes 4 regions, in 2012, put into trouble to producers of textile. Denizli firms which said that provinces in the second region took limited incentive, stated that taking part Gaziantep and Kayseri which resemble each other as structure, in third region in stimulus package cause to unfair competition in domestic market.
