PLASTIC SECTOR GUIDES THE COUNTRY'S ECONOMY
The plastic sector, considered one of the most important actors in the Turkish economy, guides the country's economy with a total production exceeding 10 million tons, a turnover approaching 50 billion dollars, and direct product exports exceeding 9 billion dollars. The Turkish plastic sector, which is the largest item in chemistry, ranking second in the country's exports, ranks second after Germany among EU countries and seventh in the world.
The plastic sector, which produces intermediate goods, is a very important supplier to the manufacturing industry, especially construction, agriculture, durable consumer goods, automotive, and electronics, as well as to the service sector with products such as packaging materials.
Parallel to the increasing use of technology in the plastic sector, the number of companies exporting and competing in world markets is also gradually increasing.
The plastic sector plays a strategic role in both the development of Turkey's industrial infrastructure and the increase of its export potential. Turkey is one of Europe's largest plastic producers and an important player with competitive power in the global market in this field. The sector not only creates added value by supplying materials for industrial and production activities but also stands out with its innovation and R&D investments.
The plastic sector makes significant contributions to the Turkish economy by increasing employment opportunities, technology transfer, and export revenues. On the other hand, the sector's waste management and recycling efforts, carried out in line with sustainability and circular economy goals, benefit the green transformation of the Turkish economy. All these factors indicate the sector's role in Turkey's efforts to achieve its sustainable growth targets.
The Turkish plastic sector demonstrates successful performance by growing above our country's economy every year. The plastic sector, which creates added value for Turkish industry with its production capacity, is rapidly progressing towards becoming a global player.
