Household furniture: cost and official prices, last 3 months
Cost increase The measured rise in this category's production costs over the last 3 months: a weighted average of official price series (materials, labour, and import prices or the exchange rate), using cost shares we assume. It is the maker's cost, not a shelf price; shop prices are measured and shown separately. How to read →computed, mean of 4 categories+3.3%
Inflation The rise in general consumer prices over the same 3 months. A category's costs may have risen faster or slower; this shows the past only. How to read →general prices+5.6%
Shop prices (official) Official consumer price index change for household furniture over the last 3 months: a measurement of the prices paid in shops. It is a different thing from the cost bar; we draw no cause-and-effect link between the two. They are prices measured in the past, not a forecast. In the US the index is “furniture and bedding” and includes mattresses. How to read →household furniture, consumer price index (September 2026)+4.6%

Shop prices (official) Official consumer price indices for two groups of large appliances. Kitchen appliances (refrigerators, freezers, dishwashers, cookers, ovens, hobs) form one index; laundry appliances (washing machines, dryers) another. They are prices measured in the past, not a forecast. The subgroups move more from month to month than the total, partly because of sales, so the 12-month change is the steadier figure.

What pushed prices up and what held them back
Shelf prices depend on production costs, but also on how much people buy and on the exchange rate. Imported materials are already part of the cost figure above. These are the latest measured figures sorted by the way they point; each row shows its own month. They do not say what prices will do next.
▲ Pushing prices up
Costs of furniture makers 3.3% on average over the 3 months to September 2026; general prices 5.6% over the same time. The breakdown is above.
▼ Holding prices back
None of the indicators we track points this way for this period.
– Within the usual range
Close to their usual level: this period they are not clearly pushing prices up or holding them back.
Sales at furniture and appliance stores −2.3% in volume over 12 months (August 2026). Usually between −23.4% and +6.4% in 2015-2019.
Households planning a major purchase Close to the 2015-2019 average (survey balance -39; 2015-2019 average -37; September 2026). Usually between -59.5 and -23.3 in 2015-2019.
No usual range yet for these series
The lira against the US dollar The dollar +17.7% over 12 months (September 2026); a dearer dollar makes imported materials dearer.
Shown as context. We have not found that any of these predicts prices on its own. Sources: TurkStat and Eurostat (TurkStat data), Central Bank of the Republic of Türkiye. Each row is the latest measured figure, with its own month. "Usually between" is the range where the middle 80% of the 2015-2019 values lay (10th to 90th percentile), before the pandemic. A row sits under pushing or holding back only when its latest figure is outside that range; a series without such a range sits apart.

Recent official decisions
Recent decisions by public bodies that affect furniture and appliance prices: interest rates, minimum wage, tax, tariffs, credit rules and energy. Each line links to the official text.
January 23, 2026 Central Bank of Türkiye cut the policy rate from 38% to 37% Lower rates make loans and instalments cheaper. Demand for big purchases can rise, which makes it easier for sellers to raise prices. Source: TCMB ↗▲ adds to the pressure
January 1, 2026 Minimum wage for 2026 set at 1,101 TL gross a day (33,030 TL gross a month) The minimum wage is a cost for factory, transport and shop staff. Makers and sellers can pass it on to prices over time. The same decision also raises buyers' incomes. Source: Resmî Gazete, Asgari Ücret Tespit Komisyonu Kararı ↗▲ adds to the pressure

What producers say about their own prices
Every month producers are asked: "Over the next 3 months, will your selling prices rise, stay the same or fall?" Below you see by how many points the share saying "rise" is larger (or smaller) than the share saying "fall". Producers are asked whether their selling prices will rise, stay the same or fall over the next 3 months. The score is the share saying "rise" minus the share saying "fall". Example: if 50% say rise and 14% say fall, the score is +36. Above zero means more producers expect rises than falls; zero means equal. It is not a percentage and does not say how large a rise will be. How to read →
