Construction Fair 2026 Begins: Turkish Construction Sector Opens Up to the World!

The pulse of the sector beats at Tüyap! As Yapıaletleri.com, we closely follow the Construction Fair – Turkeybuild Istanbul 2026, which opened its doors this year, bringing together 418 major participating companies.

The event, held at the Tüyap Fair and Congress Center between April 27-30, once again demonstrated Türkiye's strength in the field of building materials. At the opening ceremony, attended by Deputy Minister of Trade Volkan Ağar and leading figures in the sector, it was emphasized that the Turkish construction sector has reached a massive volume of $560 billion in 138 countries.

Purchasing delegations from 15 countries are in Istanbul.

The most striking feature of this year's fair is the massive purchasing delegation program organized by İDDMİB (Istanbul Iron and Non-Ferrous Metals Exporters Association). 68 purchasing professionals from 15 different countries, ranging from Saudi Arabia to Nigeria, Jordan to Ivory Coast, are sitting down with our local producers.

This massive trade volume is not only benefiting exporters but also raising the quality of products in the domestic market. Turkish brands selling products worldwide are now developing much more durable and technologically advanced products.

Special Focus on the Scaffolding and Formwork Industry

As İDDMİB President Çetin Tecdelioğlu stated at the opening, special business meetings are planned this year, particularly targeting the scaffolding and formwork sector. The sector's target for 2026 is to reach a volume of $31.6 billion by capturing 3% of world exports.
