After this general view, the developments from 1985 to 1992 will be discussed deeply. The
following table outlines the share of firms by size classes in different manufacturing
industries for 1985 and 1992. The domination of micro firms in all manufacturing industries
is very clear from this table. However, in terms of sectoral concentration, the majority of the
firms were gathered in paper products and printing industry and textile, apparel and leather
industry both in 1985 and 1992.

Being in line with the distribution of firms, the majority of the people is engaged in textile,
apparel, leather industry and fabricated metal products in both 1985 and 1992 (see table 3).
However, in chemical products, non-metallic mineral products and basic metal industries the
share of persons engaged is higher in medium and large firms than micro firms due to more
complex production structures.
