ings must obtain a green building certifi ca-
tion, for example. Further regulations for
new buildings include raising the usage of
energy from renewable sources from 5% to
10% and upgrading the energy performance
certifi cate standard. The share of urban
population in total population has been
steadily growing since 2013 (Fig. 2).
Outlook
In view of challenging market require-
ments, Turkish manufacturers of wire and
tubular products need modern processing
equipment to remain competitive. The wire
Eurasia and Tube Eurasia trade fairs provide
an ideal opportunity for equipment manu-
facturers to present their products and ser-
vices while visitors get access to information
about the most recent developments.
Tubular goods
Pipes, tubes and hollow profi les are needed
for the transmission of water, oil and other
liquids, gases, free-fl owing substances or as
mechanical structures.
According to ÇEBİD, the Turkish steel pipe
manufacturers association, the country has
an annual steel pipe production capacity
of 7,5 million tons. With an annual pro-
duction of 4,8 million tons, Türkiye is the
fourth largest steel pipe producer in the
world after China, Russia, and South Korea.
Off shore wind farm projects in Türkiye
are a key driver behind the growth of the
Turkish steel pipes and tubes market.
Further market drivers are the construction
of new pipelines for oil, gas and water, the
replacement of aging pipelines, and the
infrastructure development. The market
research company Lucintel also sees good
market opportunities in the water supply
and wastewater treatment, HVAC, automo-
tive, and industrial sectors. Also the future
of the plastic pipe market looks promising
with opportunities in water and wastewater
treatment, agriculture, chemical installa-
tions, and cable protections.
The mentioned industries are expected
to further grow, driven by an increasing
demand for electricity, the expansion of the
infrastructure and urbanization and last but
not least the increasing mobility.
Electricity and urbanization
Türkiye’s electricity consumption is esti-
mated to grow from nearly 348 TWh in
2024 to nearly 400 TWh in 2030 (Fig. 1). The
country is planning to increase the elec-
tricity output of renewable energy sources
from currently 30 GW to 120 GW by 2035
through investments of US$80 bn. With the
scaling-up of the power generation capacity,
also the transmission grid will require a sig-
nifi cant upgrade to carry the additional load
and expand the reach of the network.
The responsible use of energy is also playing
an increasingly important role. Within the
framework of the The Second National
Energy Effi ciency Action Plan, the country
plans to invest more than US$20 bn in
energy effi ciency projects by 2030, targeting
