MARKET TRENDS & DRIVERS
Green Building Projects Trigger the Use of Electric Construction Equipment and Supports Turkey Construction Equipment Market Growth
- Turkey has adopted a proactive strategy to encourage sustainable construction, minimize environmental impact, and enhance energy efficiency through green building and production initiatives.
- Over the past two years, Turkey has witnessed a notable surge in the adoption of green building design and construction practices, particularly following the establishment of the nation’s first Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED)-certified building in the suburbs of Ankara.
- This trend has led to an increase in the number of green buildings, with approximately 250-300 structures achieving LEED certification.
Hydrogen Technologies Strategy and Roadmap to Boost Turkey Construction Equipment Market
- The Turkish Energy, Nuclear, and Mining Research Institute (TENMAK) will prioritize the advancement of green hydrogen and electrolyzer technology from 2023 to 2053. Starting with a 500 kW electrolyzer in 2023, TENMAK’s ambitious plan aims to scale up to 500 MW to 1 GW by 2053.
- Additionally, the institute is committed to developing hydrogen utilization technologies, targeting fuel cell production for heavy land vehicles, marine vessels, railways, and aircraft, with goals ranging from a 300-kW fuel cell in the early stages to a 300 MW fuel cell by 2053.
Turkey’s Thriving Tourism Sector Is Fueling the Expansion of Hotels
- Turkey’s hospitality industry is expecting a boost, as the country’s ten largest hotel groups are set to launch 155 new projects by 2025. Domestic companies are key players in the accommodation sector, overseeing investments, operations, and development, which are vital to the flourishing tourism market.
- This heightened activity in the tourism sector is also drawing interest from top international hotel brands looking to open new locations in Turkey, reinforcing its status as a premier destination for global tourists.
- By 2026, Turkey is expected to complete 354 new hotel and tourism investment projects, including developments from both local and international brands.
Investment in Renewable Energy Projects Drives the Sales of Material-Handling Equipment in the Turkey Construction Equipment Market
- In 2024, Turkey announced an investment plan for approximately USD 20 billion in energy efficiency by 2030, with public and private sector collaboration. These efforts aim to achieve significant energy savings, reduce carbon dioxide emissions, and enhance energy infrastructure.
- The government committed to invest USD 73 billion in renewable energy projects by 2035. Turkey signed a financial agreement of USD 1 billion with the World Bank to accelerate clean energy transitions. Growing investment in renewable energy projects is expected to drive the sales of materials handling equipment such as cranes & aerial platforms in the Turkey construction equipment market.
INDUSTRY RESTRAINTS
High Inflation Rate in the Country
- Turkey’s inflation, which soared above 75% earlier in 2024 and currently stands at 52%, along with significant increases in electricity and gas prices, is worsening the country’s financial struggles.
- Additionally, the overvaluation of the Turkish lira has weakened its competitiveness against countries like Vietnam and Bangladesh. The government’s policy-tightening measures have resulted in a total rate increase of 41.5% points since June 2023, making credit difficult to obtain and driving many exporters into financial hardship.
High Construction Costs Will Hinder the Growth of the Construction Industry
- Rising construction costs in Turkey, fueled by inflation and a weakening currency, are significantly disrupting the construction industry and hampers Turkey construction equipment market growth. Budget overruns, project cancellations, and delays are becoming more common, as developers and investors struggle to manage escalating expenses.
- Recent building permit statistics reveal a sharp decline in construction activity during the second quarter of 2024. Permits for the number of buildings, flats, and total flat area dropped by 22.7%, 28.9%, and 30.9%, respectively. A total of 137,210 housing units were approved for construction, marking the lowest second-quarter figure since 2009, excluding the pandemic year of 2020.
