he transformation sweeping through the chemical industry—spanning everything from production technologies and sustainable raw materials to digitalization, product safety, and new regulations—is heightening the sector's need for international knowledge and technology exchange. As new European Union regulations regarding the evaluation, classification, and labeling of chemicals reshape the industry agenda leading up to 2026, it is becoming increasingly critical for manufacturers to stay abreast of new technologies and strengthen international business connections. Online visitor registration has opened for the 11th Turkchem Eurasia and InterDye & Textile Printing Eurasia, key regional gathering points for this transformation. Scheduled for November 25–27, 2026, at the Istanbul Expo Center, these two events will bring together professionals from the chemical and textile chemistry sectors in Istanbul, focusing on new technologies, production solutions, and commercial collaborations.
In its previous edition, Turkchem Eurasia once again demonstrated its international reach by welcoming 13,897 professional visitors from 95 countries over the course of three days. The highest visitor turnout came from Iran, China, Russia, Pakistan, Egypt, Germany, the United Arab Emirates, Bulgaria, Italy, and India. This outcome reaffirmed Turkchem Eurasia’s status as a vital trade and collaboration platform—not only for Turkey but also for Eurasia and surrounding regions.
CHEMICALS AND TEXTILE CHEMISTRY TO UNITE UNDER ONE ROOF
Turkchem Eurasia will bring together basic and specialty chemicals, petrochemical products, laboratory technologies, process equipment, environmental technologies, production solutions, and various sub-sectors of the chemical industry on a single platform. Held concurrently, InterDye & Textile Printing Eurasia will unite all stakeholders in the textile chemicals sector by focusing on textile chemicals, dyestuffs, pigments, digital textile printing technologies, and textile finishing solutions. These two complementary events will facilitate the establishment of new commercial connections between exhibiting companies and professional visitors, foster export-oriented collaborations, and help introduce new industry technologies to a wider audience. Furthermore, by supporting Türkiye's role as a strategic trade bridge connecting Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and North Africa, the events will contribute to strengthening the visibility of the Turkish chemical industry in international markets.
CAPACITY LOSS IN EUROPE CREATES NEW DYNAMICS IN THE CHEMICAL INDUSTRY
Highlighting the reshaping of competitive conditions in the global chemical industry, Ahmet Güler, Founder and CEO of Artkim Group, said: “Today, the chemical industry holds strategic importance not only within itself but also across a vast production ecosystem—spanning sectors from automotive and textiles to food and pharmaceuticals. According to European Commission data, the EU has lost approximately 15% of its steam cracker capacity and about 9% of its ammonia production capacity since 2021. High energy and raw material costs, global competition, and shifting supply dynamics are among the key issues facing the sector. In such a climate, it is becoming increasingly vital for manufacturers to access new markets, develop alternative supply channels, and strengthen international collaborations. We position Turkchem Eurasia as a platform that addresses precisely this need. In the previous edition, we hosted 13,897 professionals from 95 countries in Istanbul. For 2026, leveraging Türkiye’s strategic location between Europe, the Middle East, and Asia, we aim to bring together manufacturers, suppliers, technology providers, and procurement professionals to forge new commercial connections.”
