In late September 2026, reports indicated developments regarding industrial activity in Cyprus. The Turkish Cypriot Chamber of Industry (KTSO) announced an initiative to establish new, modern industrial zones to address a lack of suitable investment areas and current inefficiencies. KTSO President Ali Kamacıoğlu noted that only 17 percent of current participants are engaged in actual industrial activity, prompting the Chamber to develop a cluster-based model to increase production capacity.

Concurrently, economic data for July 2026 showed that Cyprus’s industrial production index rose by 1.5 percent compared to July 2025. For the first seven months of 2026, the index increased by 1.6 percent year-to-date. Growth was driven by sectors such as water supply and material recovery, mining, and quarrying, while the manufacturing sector saw a 1.5 percent increase.
