Chemical Industry

With $60 billion in production volume, Türkiye ranks among Europe’s largest chemical producers. But lasting competitiveness is now won through sustainability compliance, raw material security, and the green transition.

With production volume exceeding $60 billion, Türkiye ranks among Europe’s largest chemical producers. Sustainability compliance, raw material security, and the green transition are now reshaping the industry’s competitiveness.

Türkiye’s chemical industry has a broad production base spanning petrochemicals, paints and coatings, plastics and polymers, fertilizers, and specialty chemicals. Yet global competition is no longer decided by production capacity alone; it is decided by compliance with international regulations, sustainable production, supply chain resilience, and the ability to develop value-added products. The European Union’s REACH and Green Deal regulations, together with growing industrial and agricultural investment in Latin America, are setting new strategic priorities for the industry.
