Turkey’s HVAC-R products, known for their quality and durability, are priced competitively and developed in line with global standards. Its outcome is based on the country’s HVAC-R industry as it is recording strong export growth, with export turnover up 16% last year to top $4.6 billion.
Focusing to achieve the $5 billion milestone this year, the sector is moving towards the R&D and actively looking out for new markets with a focus on Central and Southern Africa, South America and Australia.
Mehmet Sanal, chairman of the board of ISIB, says the Turkish HVAC-R growth can be connected to increased output and product range, as well as developed global market penetration.
According to ISIB Africa, with economic growth in the region of 5%, shows potential for strong HVAC-R trade growth over the next 5 – 10 years. Turkey’s comprehensive exports to Africa increased by over 23% last year amid powerful trade promotion efforts.
ISIB’s trade visit, to be held in Johannesburg on 11 September, 2019, will see Turkish manufacturers and exporters holding B2B meetings with South African HVAC-R importers and distributors, design, construction and engineering companies, and maintenance specialists.
