Introduction

Turkey, with its strategic geographic position, is recognized as the “Gateway to Europe.” Due to its location on the Silk Road, the country acts as a bridge between Asia and Europe and has excellent access to major Eurasian producers. From China and Saudi Arabia to Azerbaijan, Iran, South Korea, Ukraine, Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan, and Russia, Turkey is recognized as a significant global hub for petrochemical and polymer products. This article offers a comprehensive analysis of the petrochemical and polymer market conditions in Iran and Turkey, production trends, and competitor pricing policies, and explores strategic solutions for success in these markets.

Turkey as a Global Hub for Petrochemical and Polymer Products

In recent years, Turkey has made significant progress in the polymer production industry. Through substantial investments, improvements in production technologies, and development of infrastructure, Turkey has dramatically increased its polymer production rates. By establishing and expanding production and distribution infrastructure, Turkey has become one of the main centers for petrochemical and polymer trade. This situation, especially given its geographic location and rapid access to major producer countries, has enabled Turkey to act as a competitive global hub.

Domestic Advances in Polymer Production in Turkey

Turkey has focused on enhancing its domestic polymer production by improving processes, increasing production capacity, and adopting modern technologies. The country has significantly raised its production rates through increased investments in research and development and process optimization. Additionally, Turkey has become a leader in the polymer industry by leveraging its advantages in raw material supply and access to global markets.

Pricing Policies and Competition in the Turkish Market

Competition in the Turkish polymer market is especially intense for foreign producers.
