Turkey’s regular PP suppliers lose market share, Egypt fills in
In 2015, Turkey imported a record amount of homo PP, although the yearly gain was rather marginal. Saudi Arabia remained as the number one supplier to Turkey for homo PP whereas there were some remarkable changes in the top 10 suppliers of this past year.
Saudi Arabia maintained the lion’s share of the homo PP market; nevertheless, the country exported 13% less in 2015 than in 2014. Indeed, homo PP imports from Saudi Arabia were at their lowest since 2011, according to ChemOrbis Import Statistics. When looking at the share of Saudi Arabia with respect to the overall imports, it fell to around 33% in 2015 from 38% in 2013-2014 and 47% in 2012.
