Turkey’s coking coal import market saw a major shift in the January-March 2026 period, with the United States becoming the country’s largest supplier. Turkey imported 1.12 million metric tons of coking coal during the first quarter, marking a 22.8% year-on-year increase, while import value rose 29% to $221.20 million.
The biggest change came from the US, where shipments to Turkey surged 266.5% year-on-year to 551,718 metric tons, pushing America ahead of Australia and Russia. Australia, which was Turkey’s top supplier in the same period last year, slipped to second place as its shipments fell 20.7% to 458,009 metric tons. Russian supplies also declined 40% to 110,037 metric tons.
For the steel industry, this trend highlights a clear supply-chain shift in Turkey’s raw material sourcing. Higher coking coal imports indicate stronger demand from steelmaking operations, while the growing US share may influence global coal trade flows, pricing trends and procurement strategies across the steel sector.
