turkishceramics invites you to its info booth at ISH between 12nd and 16th of March

Since its foundation, Turkish Ceramics Promotion Group runs diverse activities from participating fairs to organizing special events. By supporting branding and promotion activities abroad and claiming ‘Turkey is the land of ceramics’, Turkish Ceramics Promotion Group strengthens Turkish ceramics’ global image. This effort of communication and promotion of Turkish ceramics reflects positively on ceramics exportation of Turkey. According to the export data of 2011, tile exports of Turkey has increased to 521 million dollars and export of sanitary ware products has reached 179 million dollars in 2011. While today Turkey maintains its position in the worlds’ ceramic tiles and ceramic sanitary ware exportation as being one of the fifth countries in value terms, due to its growing market share in the existing export countries and establishing strong and permanent business relationships in the new markets, 3.5 billion dollars of exportation value is targeted for ceramics sector to reach in 2023 by Turkish Exporters Assembly.

As always being Turkey’s one of the best trade alliance, Germany was the first exporting market for Turkey both in ceramic tiles and sanitary wares in 2012, too. According to the 2012 statistics in value terms, Turkey’s exportation of tile to Germany reached to 66 million dollars and export of sanitary ware products reached to 25 million dollars.
