Turkey’s cement industry: Onwards and upwards

Written by Amy Saunders, Global Cement Magazine
12 May 2015

Istanbul is home to one of Turkey's most recognisable UNESCO World Heritage sites, the Sultan Ahmed Mosque (also known as the Blue Mosque).

The Republic of Turkey, which is divided into 81 provinces that are grouped in seven regions, spans 783,562km2 in western Asia and southeast Europe. Turkey's estimated 2014 population of 82 million is ruled by a president and a prime minister in a democratic constitutional republic. The EU-Turkey Customs Union has led to extensive liberalisation of tariff rates, making Turkey a major trader with European countries like Germany and the UK.

Here, Global Cement provides an industry overview, including Turkey's top producers, recent cement sector events and its outlook.
