Kaplan stated that Turkish carpet producers and exporters, who bring pride to Türkiye all over the world with their hard work, deserve all kinds of congratulations, and emphasized that Turkish carpet makers have virtually written an epic in some regions.
Kaplan stated that many successful projects have been carried out recently, especially in the Americas, and continued as follows:
“Turkish carpets have now become a sought-after brand in the American market. In the first 10 months of 2020, we exported a total of $759,537,000 worth of carpets to the Americas. This figure represents a 34.6% increase compared to the same period last year. We are currently a sector that exports to almost every region of the world. There is growth in almost every country group, but the leading growth is in the Americas. We believe that our presence in this continent will further increase.”
The US is the top export destination.
Kaplan stated that the United States is the leading country for Turkish carpet exports, followed by Saudi Arabia, Germany, the United Kingdom, Iraq, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, Libya, Iran, and Belgium. He added, “Unlike in previous years, we are not focusing on just a few markets. The market for Turkish carpet manufacturers is the global market. We have export relations with almost all countries in the world. Of course, we have to protect, develop, and maintain our presence in our existing markets. However, we are closely monitoring the smear campaigns against Turkish goods driven by political decisions, and we are seeking alternative entry points and markets. We believe that these difficulties will come to an end in the coming period.”.
