Turkey's drama export exceeds $150 million

The Turkish drama sector, which is gradually increasing its production and technical capacity, is drawing interest around the world. Turkish productions are being broadcast in more than 50 countries. By the end of last year, the drama sector brought $150 million in export input to the country.

According to information provided by the Prime Ministry Office for Public Diplomacy (KDK), until 10 years ago, Turkey was importing cinema films and TV dramas, as well as almost all formats for entertainment and competition programs abroad. 


Since the middle of the 2000s, Turkish production companies came to the forefront in the production of television programs and became capable to compete in world cinema thanks to its rich content and technical infrastructure. Almost all Turkish television channels broadcast over 100 new productions a year and offer Turkish productions to the audience.

The Turkish drama sector, which comes to the forefront in the international market, draws great interest from audiences from all around the world from the Middle East to the Balkans and from Central Asia to South America. Turkish dramas are among the most watched programs in the countries in which they are being broadcast. They also make great contribution to Turkey’s image abroad as a significant tool of “soft power.”
