In May, Türkiye’s construction materials exports rose 5.6% YoY to reach $2.84 billion, with volumes up 9% to nearly 5 million tonnes. This marks a recovery from pandemic-era lows and cements Türkiye’s position as a reliable global supplier.

Subsector growth was broad-based; including iron and steel (+3.6%), electrical equipment (+12.6%), and metal products (+10.6%); though prefabricated building exports lagged slightly. For international project developers or infrastructure procurement teams, Türkiye’s diversified export basket offers secure multi-category sourcing.

GTA positions buyers at the nexus of Türkiye’s output improvements; facilitating direct linkups with steel mills and component manufacturers in İzmir, Bursa, and around İstanbul; all coordinated from our Istanbul base.

With export momentum and cost-effective delivery, sourcing needs; from bulk steel to electrical subsystems; can be managed through our end-to-end trade management services.
