Turkey is Receiving Extra Supply Requests

Turkey is receiving extra supply requests, especially from the EU, the USA, and other geographies. Thus, Turkey’s textile exports continued to show high performance in 2022. After 2021, despite the adverse conditions caused by the epidemic, success continued.

Importers turned their routes to Turkey for reserve security and diversification in textiles. The orders of customers who have textile production in Turkey are increasing day by day. Many brands who preferred Turkish textile production returned to the country for production. Furthermore, many new clients and companies are looking for Turkish textile supplies these days. If you are one of those importers, you can get in touch with Turkish Goods to get the best Turkish textiles.

Some foreign companies started to open new purchasing offices in Turkey. Those who already have offices here are expanding their existing structures.

With the orders received in the first 3 months of the year, textile manufacturers broke the record of all time in exports. To double this, Turkey continues to work and negotiate abroad.

Supplies from Ukraine and Belarus will shift to Turkey

Turkey foresees that the Turkish textile industry will be positively affected by this process. Exports to the Russian market will likely increase gradually. Production/exports to brands withdrawn from the Russian market will be limited to a certain extent, and then rebalanced. There is a high probability that supplies from Belarus will also shift to Turkey.

With the increasing demand from both countries, Turkey will probably reach a new all-time high record. Not just both countries, but also the demand from the USA, EU, and other countries are on the rise. Turkey broke the historical record of the republic in exports to the European, American, Asian, and African Continents. Also, Turkey is the EU’s largest supplier in the knitted fabric industry.
