Özet:

The railway industry is one of the most important infrastructure industries, helping many countries to become what they are today, both economically and commercially. Today, it contributes to the development and recovery of the economy of many countries at an increasing level. This study aims to analyze the competitiveness of the Turkish railway vehicles, trams, and components sector with different analysis methods. In this context, the competitiveness of the Turkish rail systems sector has been analyzed with the indicators of revealed comparative advantages, also known as the Balassa Index (RCA, BI), Relative Trade Advantage (RTA, BI), and The Revealed Competitive Advantage Index (RC). As a result of the analysis, the Turkish railway vehicles, trams, and components sector has not reached a certain competitive power in the world market but has gained positive momentum in recent years. In this context, the intense competition experienced on a global scale makes it necessary to increase the current competitiveness by focusing on the development of new policies for the sector in question and the development of innovative products.
