Steps to import product data programmatically in Magento 2:

<?php
    
    $file = fopen('var/import/new.csv', 'r', '"'); // set path to the CSV file
if ($file !== false) {

    require __DIR__ . '/app/bootstrap.php';
    $bootstrap = \Magento\Framework\App\Bootstrap::create(BP, $_SERVER);

    $objectManager = $bootstrap->getObjectManager();

    $state = $objectManager->get('Magento\Framework\App\State');
    $state->setAreaCode('adminhtml');

    // used for updating product stock - and it's important that it's inside the while loop
    $stockRegistry = $objectManager->get('Magento\CatalogInventory\Api\StockRegistryInterface');

    // add logging capability
    $writer = new \Zend\Log\Writer\Stream(BP . '/var/log/import-new.log');
    $logger = new \Zend\Log\Logger();
    $logger->addWriter($writer);

    $header = fgetcsv($file); // get data headers and skip 1st row

    // enter the min number of data fields you require that the new product will have (only if you want to standardize the import)
    $required_data_fields = 3;

    while ( $row = fgetcsv($file, 3000, ",") ) {

        $data_count = count($row);
        if ($data_count < 1) {
            continue;
        }

        // used for setting the new product data
        $product = $objectManager->create('Magento\Catalog\Model\Product');         
        $data = array();
        $data = array_combine($header, $row);

        $sku = $data['sku'];
        if ($data_count < $required_data_fields) {
            $logger->info("Skipping product sku " . $sku . ", not all required fields are present to create the product.");
            continue;
        }

        $name = $data['name'];
        $description = $data['description'];
        $shortDescription = $data['short_description'];
        $qty = trim($data['qty']);
        $price = trim($data['price']);

        try {
            $product->setTypeId('simple') // type of product you're importing
                    ->setStatus(1) // 1 = enabled
                    ->setAttributeSetId(4) // In Magento 2.2 attribute set id 4 is the Default attribute set (this may vary in other versions)
                    ->setName($name)
                    ->setSku($sku)
                    ->setPrice($price)
                    ->setTaxClassId(0) // 0 = None
                    ->setCategoryIds(array(2, 3)) // array of category IDs, 2 = Default Category
                    ->setDescription($description)
                    ->setShortDescription($shortDescription)
                    ->setUrlKey($url_key) // you don't need to set it, because Magento does this by default, but you can if you need to
                    ->setWebsiteIds(array(1)) // Default Website ID
                    ->setStoreId(0) // Default store ID
                    ->setVisibility(4) // 4 = Catalog & Search
                    ->save();

        } catch (\Exception $e) {
            $logger->info('Error importing product sku: '.$sku.'. '.$e->getMessage());
            continue;
        }

        try {
            $stockItem = $stockRegistry->getStockItemBySku($sku);

            if ($stockItem->getQty() != $qty) {
                $stockItem->setQty($qty);
                if ($qty > 0) {
                    $stockItem->setIsInStock(1);
                }
                $stockRegistry->updateStockItemBySku($sku, $stockItem);
            }
        } catch (\Exception $e) {
            $logger->info('Error importing stock for product sku: '.$sku.'. '.$e->getMessage());
            continue;
        }
        unset($product);
    }
    fclose($file);
}
    
?>

Example CSV for importing new products:

"sku","name","description","short_description","price","qty"
"test-sku1","Test product name1","Test product description1","Test product short description1","100","20"
"test-sku2","Test product name2","Test product description2","Test product short description2","10","30"

That’s it. Likewise you can also Magento 2 add images to product gallery programmatically to as an solution to adding images for each product manually in default in Magento 2.
