Growth markets in Turkey

According to an assessment made by the BFAI (the German Federal Agency for External Trade), the Turkish market for floor coverings and windows, doors and frames will show annual growth of 10 to 15 per cent between 2004 and 2006. Imports are also expected to rise on a similar scale because of the considerable need for modernisation and the growing demand for a better standard of quality. The country’s population of 70 mio is expanding by about 1.4 mio individuals per year. The BFAI reports that the Turkish government approved the construction of 100 000 new homes at the beginning of 2003 in order to meet the requirement for more housing.
