Strong Economic Position of Turkey Supports the High Market Demand
According to the data generated by World Steel Association, Turkey churned out 40.4 million tons of crude steel, which increased the percent up to 12.7% by 2020. Market players are working to fuel their production and export to record levels in 2021, and further increase their production capacity in the coming years. The dramatic devaluation of the lira has increased the cost of raw materials. It pressured the small steel producers to deal in domestic markets, while for the medium and large exporters who exported the steel, it proved as a boon. Also, the sudden increase in transportation costs has made the steel buyers look for near home and convenient places, thereby bolstering the demand for Turkey steel industry in the nearby countries over the forecast period. The Turkish government has signed custom union agreements with the European Union and free trade agreements with more than twenty countries, including Malaysia, Singapore, Israel, the United Kingdom, and Egypt. Turkey is also planning to use relatively low carbon intensity steel to meet the demands of the companies that aim to achieve net-zero emissions. Therefore, the rise in the efforts by the leading authorities to support the steel industry and the strong economic position of Turkey is expected to propel the growth of Turkey steel market in the next five years.
