Turkiye closed December 2025 with a complex inflation story that reflect both pressure and pause across consumer segment. Overall consumer price index recorded a sharp year on year rise of 30.89 percent, underlining persistent cost pressure across the economy. On a month on month basis, inflation moved at a slower pace, rising by 0.89 percent, suggesting early sign of stabilisation after months of volatility. The twelve month moving average reaching 34.88 percent further highlight how deeply inflation has shaped household spending pattern over the past year.
Clothing and Footwear Show Rare Relief
Within this broader inflation wave, clothing and footwear stand out as a surprising exception. Prices in this category rose only 6.5 percent year on year in December, a far more moderate increase compared to overall inflation. Even more notable was the month on month decline of 2.94 percent, offering temporary relief to consumers during a period traditionally marked by seasonal shopping.Key factor behind this shift include
• Seasonal discount and year end sale
• Inventory adjustment by retailer
• Softer demand amid cautious consumer sentiment
This cooling trend suggest that fashion retail may be responding faster to market condition than other sector.For the textile and apparel industry, the December data paint a nuanced picture. While production and input cost remain under pressure from broader inflation, pricing flexibility at the retail level appear to be improving. This could help brand maintain volume and consumer engagement even as purchasing power remain stretched.
For shopper, the decline in monthly clothing price offer a short window of affordability, particularly important in an environment where essential good continue to rise sharply. Economist note that sustained moderation in apparel inflation could act as a small but meaningful buffer for household budget.
Looking ahead, whether this trend continue will depend on currency movement, energy cost, and demand recovery. December result signal not a full turnaround, but a clear reminder that even in high inflation economy, some sector can still find breathing space.
