Turkey: country guest of honor

Overview of the Turkish composite
industry and trends
With conventional materials, production consists only in shaping the
materials. In composite product manufacturing, on the other hand,
the material itself is also being produced during shaping. For this reason, the use of composites as a serious competitor for conventional
materials is spreading faster and faster in Turkey.

J

ust like other sectors, the Turkish
composite sector has developed
rapidly in parallel with the global
economic development, under the
effect of the last decade’s political
stability.

Developments in Turkey
As elsewhere in the world, the growth
of the Turkish composite sector is
benefiting from the material substitution trend, but at an even higher rate
than in Europe and the rest of the
world. In the years before the crisis,
growth rates in Turkey were as high
as 8-12%, and since then, they have
ranged between 9% and 10%.
The Turkish composite sector currently employs some 5,000 people,
who work in 150-200 medium-sized
to large companies, as well as 700800 companies that are only partially
involved in the composite business.
Overall production amounts to
200,000 metric tons, for a value of one
billion euros.
A look at composite consumption
amounts per capita (seen as a development criterion) reveals major opportunities within the country. This

amount is about 2.5 kg in Turkey,
compared to 4-10 kg worldwide. And
the average price is €5/kg in Turkey,
compared to €8/kg worldwide. These
figures should constitute an advantage
for the country in the near future.
In Turkey, composite materials are
used predominantly in pipe and tank
production, as well as in the building
and construction industries. Parallel
to the accelerated use of advanced
technology products, the growing
use of composite materials in higher
proportions is expected – especially
in the wind energy, transportation,
automotive, aerospace and electrical
& electronics sectors.
Turkey has a long way to go in the
manufacture of products that require
machinery and advanced technology. GRP pipe production (around
50%), which is contributing to drive
the composite sector in the country,
thanks to demand from neighbouring
countries, will remain stable in the
near future. The market share of pultrusion, SMC-BMC and thermoplastic injection processes is expected to
grow. RTM will continue to develop,
especially in the wind energy, maritime, automotive, transportation and
water slides sectors.

Forecasts for the
upcoming period
Due to their capacity to meet diverse
expectations in a broad range of application fields, composite materials
are in ever more widespread use in
Turkey. The composite applications
with high growth potential in Turkey
are as follows:
Carbon fibre applications
The use of carbon fibre has rapidly
claimed a 12% share in composite applications worldwide, and is gradually
being included in more applications
here due to its low weight and high
resistance properties.
Considering the limited number of
carbon fibre producers in the world,
the presence of a major producer in
Turkey gives the country an advantage
for carbon fibre applications, compared to other countries.
Anticipating the benefits to be reaped
in this area, AKSA and Dow Chemicals are partnering for a project that
will involve investing $1 billion in
Turkey over the next 10 years. The
project will start by increasing carbon
fibre capacity to 3,000 50 microns
tons and
providing support and incentives for
advanced applications and invest-
