Increase in asset size and receivables
The sector's total assets also showed a strong increase in the same period. Asset size rose by 52.8% to reach 525.1 billion lira. The receivables item increased by 51.4% to 471 billion lira.

Financing tool for the real sector
Factoring stands out not only as a structure that provides financing but also as a mechanism that supports the continuation of commercial activities. It helps businesses manage cash flow during periods of high trade volume and increased deferred transactions.
Sector representatives emphasize that for companies, it has become critical not only to make sales but also how quickly sales are converted into cash. The extension of maturities and uncertainties in collection processes lead businesses to focus more on cash management.
Conditions driving demand up
The continuation of tight financing conditions in the economy also increases interest in factoring services. It is stated that companies wanting to manage working capital and reduce collection risk are increasingly turning to this solution.
Ongoing uncertainties in global trade and the high cost of financing are among the factors supporting the sector's growth. The continued need of the real sector for access to finance indicates that factoring can remain an important alternative in the upcoming period.
Context: According to sector representatives, cash flow management becomes more critical for companies, especially during periods of increased long-term sales and collection pressure.
Representatives foresee that the growth trend may continue for the rest of 2026. Increasing cash needs, collection risks, and difficulties in accessing finance are among the topics that highlight factoring for the real sector.
