Türkiye's chemicals industry generated a total of $7.4 billion in export revenues in the first three months of 2023.

This corresponded to 12.1 percent of the country's total export revenues in January-March, which stood at $61.6 billion.

The Turkish chemical industry, which has achieved 92 percent growth in exports in the last five years and reached the top with a record export of $33.6 billion in 2022, aims for total exports of $50 billion by 2030.

Companies operating in the services, real eatate sectors and export-oriented industries are keeping a close eye on finance and costs in 2023.

Uncertainties over energy security, supply-related issues and the EU's carbon tax will be high on Turkish companies' agenda in the new year.

But most industries are mainly concerned about energy costs and access to financing.

Turkey could make a revenue of $20 billion in chemical exports this year, almost the same of $20.6 billion last year, despite the pandemic, said the head of a local association on June 4.
