This study examines the relation between Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and industrialization by analysing 6 different sector groups in Turkey using panel data of 2004-2012 period. The effect of labor, domestic and foreign investment on industrial output of the 6 sector which are Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries; Mining and Quarrying; Manufacturing Industry; Electricity; Construction; Transportation and Storage Activities, has been analysed. The results show that there is a meaningful and positive relationship between sectoral employment and FDI with sectoral production for all sectors.
