How does the Turkish import market perform in 2026? Turkey import data analysis

Turkey's tracked import value moved sideways through 2025 before dipping into early 2026, from TradeInt's trends analysis. In fact, the country's quarterly import value held near US$86-93 billion for most of 2025, rose to US$97.28 billion in Q4 2025, then eased to US$91.07 billion in Q1 2026

Besides TradeInt Q1 analysis, reporting from Hürriyet Daily News stated that Turkey's imports rose just 3.1% year-on-year in April 2026, while exports jumped 22.3%, cutting the monthly trade deficit by 29.8% to US$8.5 billion. Here is the breakdown:

Turkey Imports by Economic Category (April 2026)
Category April 2026 (US$ mn) YoY Change
Intermediate goods 24,109 +5.6%
Investment (capital) goods 4,668 +1.6%
Consumption goods 4,998 -6.7%
Total imports 33,909 +3.1%

A few developments stand out from the official breakdown:

  • Consumer spending on imports dropped: Consumption-goods imports fell 6.7% in April 2026. Turkey's sustained inflation has squeezed household budgets, pulling back demand for imported finished goods. Capital-goods imports grew just 1.6%, suggesting businesses are also holding off on new investment.
  • Energy imports cost more, not more volume: Turkey's energy import bill rose 28.1% year-on-year in April 2026 to US$6.5 billion, driven by higher prices rather than higher demand. Ankara-based research foundation Tepav estimates every US$10-a-barrel rise in oil adds US$4.5 to US$5 billion to Turkey's current-account deficit, according to AGBI. With Strait of Hormuz tensions flagged as a live risk, that exposure remains significant.
  • Gas supply is less concentrated: Turkey no longer imports natural gas from the Middle East and has spread its LNG supply across multiple partners, including the US, reducing reliance on any single source on the gas side.
  • Steel mills kept buying scrap: Turkey increased ferrous scrap imports by 15.4% year-on-year in January 2026, according to GMK Center, as its electric-arc-furnace mills held steady output.
  • The non-energy trade gap has been narrowed down: Excluding energy and gold, Turkey's exports rose 23.6% in April 2026 while imports grew just 3.3%, leaving a deficit of only US$2.49 billion in that category, based on the Ministry of Trade's April 2026 Economic Outlook.

Data Source: Ministry of Trade's April 2026 Economic Outlook

Here are the highlights of the top imports of Turkey in 2026:

  • Energy value swung sharply: The Ministry of Trade reported Turkey's energy imports jumped 28.1% year-on-year in April 2026 to US$6.5 billion, even though the January-April energy bill was down 5.1%, a swing that reflects volatile global oil pricing rather than a lasting demand shift.
  • Gold imports cooled: The same report shows Turkey's gold imports fell 52.0% year-on-year in April 2026 to US$1.2 billion, easing a category that had been a heavy drain on the trade balance in prior periods.
  • Steel raw materials surged: Turkey's steelmakers leaned harder on imported semi-finished metal in 2026. Based on reporting from SteelOrbis, Turkey's billet and bloom imports jumped 53.9% year-on-year to 1.68 million tonnes in January-April 2026, as high scrap prices pushed some mills to restock billet instead.
  • The energy bill drives the deficit: Turkey's annual energy import bill runs at about US$65 billion, and according to AGBI, every US$10-a-barrel rise in oil adds an estimated US$4.5-5 billion to the current-account deficit, keeping fuel prices central to Turkey's import outlook.

🇪🇺 TradeInt Analysis on Turkey's Europe Trade Corridor

The EU is Turkey's largest import region, sending energy, vehicles, machinery, and steel. TradeInt's analysis breaks down Turkey's top imported products from the EU and the leading European suppliers behind them.

A clear realignment is underway in Turkey's supplier base.

As Western sanctions reshape global steel and energy flows, Turkey has become a major outlet for Russian and Chinese raw materials, while Europe holds its position in higher-value finished goods. The 2026 data shows this shift most sharply in the metals trade.

Below are the highlights of Turkey's top commodity imports by country trade partners:

  • Russia deepened its grip on steel feedstock: According to SteelOrbis, Russia supplied about 91% of Turkey's pig iron in January-April 2026 at 750,104 tonnes, up 48.2% year-on-year, tightening its hold on a key steelmaking input.
  • China scaled up fast in semi-finished steel: SteelOrbis data shows China's billet shipments to Turkey rose 269.7% year-on-year in January-April 2026 to 378,552 tonnes, moving China into second place among billet suppliers behind Russia.
  • Europe held the EU as the top region: The Ministry of Trade reported the EU-27 remained Turkey's largest import region at US$39.3 billion in January-April 2026, led by German and Italian vehicles and machinery, keeping Europe central to Turkey's higher-value imports.
  • Turkey widened its trade agreements: Turkey and Canada opened free-trade talks in June 2026, based on reporting from AGBI, while Turkey-Morocco trade reached a US$5 billion milestone, signalling a push to diversify sourcing beyond its top three partners.

How to use Turkey customs data or shipping data to find reliable suppliers?

Turkey's customs data shows which companies import a product, where they source it, and how often they ship, turning raw records into a practical supplier and buyer shortlist. TradeInt makes this searchable by drawing on over 10 billion shipment records and 470 million-plus verified business profiles, so you can build that list from real Turkish trade activity.

Here's how businesses can use Turkey trade data to find opportunities:

  • Map active importers: Search a product or HS code, such as ferrous scrap (HS 7204), to see every Turkish company importing it, ranked by transaction date.
  • Trace sourcing origins: Filter by source country to see which suppliers and corridors already feed a given product into Turkey, and where a new supplier could enter.
  • Vet a company's track record: Look up a specific importer or supplier by name to review its shipment history and existing partners before making contact.
  • Benchmark by shipment frequency: Rank buyers by how often they ship, so recurring importers stand out from one-off purchasers as stronger prospects.

These capabilities draw on TradeInt's transaction-date shipment records from customs filings, making them suited for sourcing research, supplier vetting, and corridor analysis rather than real-time alerts.

Conclusion

Turkey's Q1 2026 import profile reads like a map of an industrial economy that makes finished goods but still buys fuel and raw materials to produce them. Crude petroleum topped the list at US$9.82 billion, followed by gold at US$5.60 billion and passenger cars at US$4.19 billion, while China, Russia, and Germany supplied the largest shares by value.

However, Turkey import value in early 2026 is declining, but the sourcing map is shifting fast: Russia and China now dominate the steel and pig-iron trade, energy costs swing the bill month to month, and consumer imports are contracting as the export side finally starts to close Turkey's long-standing trade gap.
