Turkey’s welded pipe exports showed a mixed trend in the first two months of 2026, with Europe standing out as the strongest growth market. Shipments to European countries increased significantly, driven by stable demand and improved trade flows, helping offset declines in other regions.
Overall export volumes saw pressure due to reduced demand from traditional markets such as the Middle East and North America. Economic uncertainties, fluctuating steel prices, and weaker construction activity in some regions contributed to the slowdown.
Despite these challenges, European demand provided crucial support to Turkish exporters. The region’s infrastructure activity and steady industrial consumption have kept orders relatively strong, making Europe a key destination for welded pipe shipments.Market participants expect near-term volatility to continue, with global demand trends, pricing shifts, and regional economic conditions influencing export performance. However, Europe is likely to remain a reliable market for Turkish welded pipe producers in the coming months.
