Turkish Chemical Industry 2026: Export Records and Digitalization

The chemical industry remains the engine of Turkey's economy

The Turkish chemical industry reached $17.1 billion in exports in the first half of 2026, its best first-half performance in history. The sector supplies raw materials to 27 different industries including automotive, textiles, construction, food and pharmaceuticals.

For chemical companies, digitalization is no longer optional

Buyers now research chemical suppliers online. Product specifications, safety data sheets (SDS) and price quotations are requested through digital channels. A multilingual digital presence is critical for chemical companies competing in the global market.

New opportunities in the chemical raw-material supply chain

Energy costs in Europe and logistics uncertainty in the Far East have made Turkey a reliable alternative for sourcing chemical products. Geographic position, customs-union access and a young engineering workforce give Turkish chemical companies a competitive edge in the European market.
