70th Toy Fair opens to<br />
trigger trade and set trends<br />
Be there when the Spielwarenmesse ® invites the world of play to<br />
its 70th anniversary. Besides a new product group, you can also<br />
expect fantastic events and activities on each day of the toy fair.<br />
The Turkish toy industry has a market share of about USD 1 Billion.<br />
One of the largest market on the Asian continent, Turkish toy<br />
industry increases. The market players here are young and possess<br />
high spending power. As a consequence the toy industry records<br />
steadily rising sales. The average spending on toys per child in<br />
the Turkey is increasing. Especially the toy market in Turkey offers<br />
great potential, because few toys have been produced there<br />
locally until now. A large niche therefore exists, which is waiting<br />
to be filled. Turkish demographics also offer great opportunities<br />
for the toy market as more than 25.9 % of the population is aged<br />
between 0 and 14 years.<br />
Turkish toy market has a particularly big demand for outdoor<br />
toys. A growing market is also recognizable for playground<br />
equipment Turkish toy exports amounted to 98.44 million U.S.<br />
dollars. In addition the Turkish toy industry experienced a growth<br />
of 6% compared to the previous year. Regarding branded toys<br />
an increase was achieved by even 10%. Especially wooden toys<br />
are on the rise. The market volume for wooden toys has increased<br />
by 10 million U.S. dollars. It is estimated that the market volume will<br />
reach a value of 50 million U.S. dollars over the next five years. Toy<br />
safety is a major issue: Since last five years toys are manufactured<br />
according to CE standards and controlled by the Ministry of<br />
Health. Likewise, the toy imports are controlled by the Ministry<br />
of Health. The toy industry in Turkey grew 20 times during the last<br />
five years. As leading and only magazine in the Turkish toys and<br />
games market, <strong>Toyuncak</strong> magazine covers a wide range of<br />
trade and logistics-related topics that concern the domestic and<br />
international trade marketplace. The magazine will be distributed<br />
in 70th Spielwarenmesse® International Toy Fair to be held in<br />
Nuremberg, 30 January - 03 February 2019.<br />
I wish lucrative business for all.
The target in chemical exports<br />
is $20 billion in 2019<br />
In the first half of this year, we had the excitement of<br />
elections at İKMİB. After I was elected the President at the<br />
General Assembly held in April, we started to work very<br />
swiftly. As of the day I took office, we have carefully and<br />
primarily focused on the activities that will increase the<br />
exports in the chemical industry as well as any problems<br />
and solutions. In line with this aim, we organized various<br />
national and international events, and we worked<br />
towards our target to become the second most exporting<br />
sector on an annual basis.<br />
2018 was a year of records for the exports despite unfavorable<br />
circumstances such as floating rate, high interest<br />
rate and high inflation in the second half of the year. Providing<br />
the largest contribution to the growth of Turkey, the<br />
export has been the main dimension that has enabled the<br />
companies to survive in this difficult period. In 2018, Turkey<br />
broke a record in exports and chemical industry achieved<br />
to come off second-best sector in export figures for fourth<br />
times on a monthly basis thanks to its performance. The<br />
chemical industry achieved great success in September,<br />
October and December in 2018, and achieved to be the<br />
second most exporting sector in Turkey. As we promised,<br />
we took firm steps to get the second place permanently.<br />
In 2018, the exports of chemical industry, one of Turkey’s<br />
leading sectors, amounted to $17 billion 444 million. Thus,<br />
it exceeded the $17 billion target, getting the third place<br />
after automotive and textile in exports. Compared to<br />
2017, the sector exports increased by 8.23 percent in<br />
terms of value. In 2018, our chemical exports reached 19.5<br />
billion tons with an increase of 7.18 percent compared to<br />
the previous year. When we look at the year 2018 on a<br />
monthly basis, October was the month of highest export<br />
figure with 1 billion 594 million dollars.<br />
In 2018, the countries to which we exported the most were<br />
Egypt, Germany, Iraq, USA, Spain, Italy, England, Netherlands,<br />
Greece and Iran. Also, in 2018, the European Union<br />
<strong>Toyuncak</strong> Exports Turkey 2019<br />
6
countries ranked first with a share of 6.70 billion dollars in<br />
exports and 38.41 percent among the country groups to<br />
which the most of chemical industry exports were made.<br />
EU countries were followed by Near and Middle East Asian<br />
countries with 3.13 billion dollars of export and a share<br />
of 17.97%. Other European countries came in third with<br />
3.23 billion dollars in exports and a share of 13.04%, North<br />
African countries came in fourth with 1.71 billion dollars in<br />
exports and a share of 9.85%, and other Asian countries<br />
came in fifth with 1.38 billion dollars in exports and a share<br />
of 7.91%.<br />
We have 12 sub-sectors in the chemical industry. Among<br />
the five sub-sectors to which we made the most exports<br />
in 2018, plastics and plastic products was in the first place<br />
with exports of 5 billion 886 million dollars. Mineral fuels,<br />
mineral oils and products came in second with exports<br />
of 3 billion 292 million dollars, inorganic chemicals came<br />
in third with exports of 1 billion 808 million dollars, rubber,<br />
rubber goods came in fourth with exports of 1 billion 363<br />
million dollars, and cosmetics and soap sub-sector came<br />
in fifth with exports of 1 billion 146 million dollars.<br />
Our exports continue to increase but in today’s environment<br />
when the global competition is getting fiercer every<br />
passing day, the value of high value-added production<br />
and unit kilogram value of exports should also be increased.<br />
This depends significantly on the strength of R&D<br />
and innovation. Accounting for about 33% of exports in<br />
the chemical industry, the plastics and plastic products<br />
sub-sector is a foreign-dependent sector on raw materials<br />
at 90%. The STAR Refinery, which was opened this year<br />
to operate in the field of petrochemistry, will support our<br />
industry in terms of chemical exports, but it is not enough.<br />
We need at least 4-5 more facilities operating in the field<br />
of petrochemistry. Moreover, construction of a plant with<br />
a capacity of 450,000 tons of polypropylene production<br />
per year will start in the Ceyhan petrochemical industry<br />
zone in 2019. As these and similar high-volume facilities<br />
start to operate, our dependency on imports will decrease<br />
in the sub-sectors, which will in turn contribute positively<br />
to our exports.<br />
Also, technical obstacles for the introduction of drugs<br />
produced in Turkey to global markets have been lifted<br />
to a large extent thanks to the membership of Turkish<br />
Medicines and Medical Devices Agency (TİTCK) with the<br />
Pharmaceutical Inspection Co-operation Scheme (PIC/S),<br />
which actually started on January 1, 2018, in the pharmaceutical<br />
industry, one of the fields offering the highest<br />
value-added products in the chemical industry. This is an<br />
important development for the increase of exports in the<br />
pharmaceutical industry. We, as İKMİB, follow these important<br />
developments related to our sectors and besides<br />
our efforts to inform our companies about such developments,<br />
we continue to carry out comprehensive activities<br />
as the practitioner of our Union while supporting all kinds<br />
of projects for increasing the exports that are made by<br />
the pharmaceutical and medical sectors to the world.<br />
In addition, we need to give importance to promotion<br />
and marketing activities for sustainable export growth.<br />
We, as İKMİB, support the activities that will increase the<br />
exports of our companies. In this context, we organized<br />
a total of 18 national and international trade and hosted<br />
buyer events, 10 exhibitions with domestic participation,<br />
6 projects for development of sectoral international<br />
competition (UR-GE), 6 sector trainings, 5 seminars and<br />
4 workshops in 2018. We will continue to support our<br />
exporters with might and main by means of 19 exhibitions<br />
with domestic participation, 19 sectoral trade<br />
delegation and 8 hosted buyer events that we plan to<br />
organize in 2019.<br />
In 2018, we concluded the application procedures of<br />
196 member companies that met the conditions for<br />
obtaining green passports. In addition to the supports<br />
provided by TİM and Ministry of Trade, we offered 20%<br />
support for the member companies to benefit from<br />
e-commerce websites, namely Alibaba, Turkish Exporters,<br />
Kompass and Chemorbis. 1380 members benefited<br />
from this support. We cooperated with the NGOs, and<br />
in 2019 we will perform activities to increase the export<br />
of our sectors more extensively. We are pleased that<br />
our government has supported the promises we made<br />
during the election process with the idea that they are<br />
important for our sector. As İKMİB, we are working hard<br />
to improve the sector and exports. In order to increase<br />
our exports and reach the 2023 targets, we need to<br />
guide our SMEs to export more. In this regard, in 2019 we<br />
will focus on expansion of e-commerce network, facilitating<br />
the access of exporters to financing, decreasing the<br />
limit for green passport to 500 thousand dollars in the first<br />
stage, creating container lines, digital transformation,<br />
indigenization in chemical industry, ensuring more fair<br />
share and efficient use of the funds of Turkey Promotion<br />
Group (TTG), and expansion of the network of Turkish<br />
Trade Centers. With the TTG projects, we aim to promote<br />
our country and our exports more effectively.<br />
In particular, e-commerce is among the second 100-day<br />
targets of the Ministry of Trade as the “electronic export<br />
platform”. We will work closely with our government in<br />
this field in order to keep up with the digital transformation<br />
in the global trade, make the processes faster and<br />
contribute to our country’s exports to reach the targets<br />
of 2023. In order to achieve the target export volume<br />
in 2019, we convey our requests to and we hold talks<br />
with the Ministry of Trade to improve the green passport<br />
limit and duration, increase the participation rates of<br />
exhibitors and support our industrialist in establishing a<br />
petrochemical plant. Our task is to work harder to meet<br />
our national target of 200 billion dollar as announced by<br />
the President. Accordingly, we will work hard to exceed<br />
the $20 billion level by increasing our sector exports by<br />
15 percent in 2019.<br />

Toy industry to gather at<br />
TÜYAP from February 26 to March 1<br />
Organized jointly by TÜYAP and Toy Industry Association (OYDER) between February<br />
26 and March 1, 2019 at TÜYAP, ‘İstanbul Toy Fair’ will be marked by<br />
the interest of foreign procurement teams.<br />
While TÜYAP continues its talks with the procurement<br />
teams via its 7 overseas offices and a representative<br />
network spanning 26 countries, the Turkish Ministry of<br />
Commerce launched its ‘Foreign Procurement Team<br />
Welcoming Program’. The Ministry met with the trade<br />
undersecretariats and attaches’ offices of 35 nations,<br />
inviting them to the event. The Turkish toy industry exerts its<br />
clout in the global market thanks to extensive investment,<br />
a strong focus on design, and its capacity to deliver<br />
reliable products in the shortest period. The<br />
exciting countdown for ‘İstanbul Toy<br />
Fair 2019’ is on: Professionals will feel<br />
once again the pulse of the toy<br />
industry at this trade show organized<br />
by Tüyap Fairs and Fair Services Inc.,<br />
and Toy Industry Association (OYDER),<br />
from February 26 to March 1 at Tüyap Fair and<br />
Congress Center. The fair, which had drawn visitors from<br />
42 countries ranging from the UK to Lebanon, from Jordan<br />
to China last year, has set the bar even higher this year.<br />
Gearing up its preparations, TÜYAP continues to promote<br />
the event via 7 overseas offices in Moscow Russia, Tbilisi<br />
Georgia, Sofia Bulgaria, Skopje Macedonia, Amman<br />
Jordan, Teheran Iran and Cairo Egypt as well as a<br />
representative network spanning 26 nations. These efforts<br />
for inviting more visitors will continue until the last day<br />
so as to enable the industry to attain its export targets.<br />
The most qualified buyers will be visiting the fair as a<br />
result of the powerful organization and TÜYAP’s effective<br />
communication drive. As such, Turkey will further reinforce<br />
its position as the toy industry hub of the Balkans and the<br />
Middle East.<br />
Foreign demand for<br />
Turkish toys on the rise<br />
Objective: Over 50% growth<br />
The visitors who will participate in this fair featuring topnotch<br />
brands will have the chance to examine thousands<br />
of products ranging from plush toys to puzzles, wooden<br />
toys to outdoors products, intelligence-boosting toys to<br />
robots. Last year TÜYAP had succeeded in expanding<br />
the industry’s overall volume by 30% thanks to the fair; this<br />
year TÜYAP set itself the target of over 50% growth.<br />
Promotion drive by the Ministry<br />
On the other hand, the Turkish Ministry of Commerce<br />
extended its support to the event under the scope of<br />
its ‘Foreign Procurement Team Welcoming Program’<br />
set to whet the appetite of foreign visitors for the Turkish<br />
toy industry. In the scope of this program, the Ministry<br />
met with the trade undersecretariats and attaches’<br />
offices of countries across the world such as Azerbaijan,<br />
Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan, Georgia, Russia, Ukraine,<br />
Macedonia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Moldova,<br />
Kosovo, Iran, Iraq, the UK, Israel, Palestine, Croatia, Saudi<br />
Arabia, UAE, Kuwait, Yemen, Jordan, Algeria, Tunisia,<br />
Egypt, Libya, Greece, Bulgaria, Romania, Poland, Spain,<br />
Italy, France, Germany, Italy and the Netherlands, inviting<br />
them to the fair.<br />
Exports on the rise<br />
The Turkish toy industry greatly boosted its<br />
manufacturing capacity by means of<br />
extensive investment and a strong focus<br />
on design, thereby reducing imports to<br />
a large extent. The foreign procurement<br />
teams, which attentively monitor these<br />
developments, now will have the opportunity<br />
to take a closer look at Turkish products at the fair. The<br />
reliability of Turkey’s products is one reason underlying<br />
the procurement teams’ high level of interest. Turkish firms<br />
stand out not only in the domestic but also the global<br />
market, owing to their healthy products in compliance<br />
with meticulous safety regulations, proximity to markets,<br />
and swift shipping capabilities.<br />
The fair continues to attract those firms keen on carrying<br />
out an active marketing campaign towards domestic<br />
and overseas procurement teams, establish one-on-one<br />
contacts, and enhance their brand recognition so as to<br />
expand their dealer and client network.<br />

workshop. Selay toy is the place where high quality and design meet on PLUSH. We are proud of being the<br />
leader in the sector.<br />
Our priority is to ensure that all our staff adopts the concept of ‘always good quality and healthy’ products.<br />

70th Toy Fair opens<br />
to trigger trade and set trends<br />
Be there when the Spielwarenmesse® invites the world of play to its 70th anniversary. Besides a new<br />
product group, you can also expect fantastic events and activities on each day of the toy fair.<br />
The Turkish toy industry has a market share of about USD 1 Billion. One of the largest market on<br />
the Asian continent, Turkish toy industry increases. The market players here are young and possess<br />
high spending power. As a consequence the toy industry records steadily rising sales. The average<br />
spending on toys per child in the Turkey is increasing. Especially the toy market in Turkey offers great<br />
potential, because few toys have been produced there locally until now. A large niche therefore<br />
exists, which is waiting to be filled. Turkish demographics also offer great opportunities for the toy<br />
market as more than 25.9 % of the population is aged between 0 and 14 years.<br />
Turkish toy market has a particularly big demand for outdoor toys. A growing market is also<br />
recognizable for playground equipment Turkish toy exports amounted to 98.44 million U.S. dollars.<br />
In addition the Turkish toy industry experienced a growth of 6% compared to the previous year.<br />
Regarding branded toys an increase was achieved by even 10%. Especially wooden toys are on the<br />
rise. The market volume for wooden toys has increased by 10 million U.S. dollars. It is estimated that the<br />
market volume will reach a value of 50 million U.S. dollars over the next five years. Toy safety is a major<br />
issue: Since last five years toys are manufactured according to CE standards and controlled by the<br />
Ministry of Health. Likewise, the toy imports are controlled by the Ministry of Health. The toy industry in<br />
Turkey grew 20 times during the last five years.<br />

10 predictions for the toy industry in the year 2022<br />
The prediction of the future for the toy industry in the year 2022 is subject to numerous<br />
moving parts and none of them seem to want to behave. Still, it is important to prepare<br />
for future developments.<br />
So, before getting into predictions let’s take a look at<br />
some of the forces currently in play:<br />
• Bricks and mortar retail is struggling, particularly<br />
big box. Toys “r” us is in bankruptcy and some have<br />
concerns about the entire concept of bricks and mortar<br />
retailing. Which of the bricks and mortar retailers will be<br />
active and to what degree is anyone’s guess.<br />
• E-commerce is on fire and there is no end in sight to<br />
amazon’s almost exponential growth. Ironically, they<br />
could be the future of bricks and mortar retailing as they<br />
enter the market with new ideas and fresh strategies –<br />
like having stores with no employees.<br />
• Consumers, particularly millennials, are less likely<br />
to drive to a store than their boomer parents and<br />
grandparents. Why because they see a previously<br />
unrecognized opportunity cost in driving to the store and<br />
not finding what was wanted. Simply put, buying on line<br />
saves time and is more efficient.<br />
• An online shopper needs credit and access to the<br />
ınternet and the lowest economic class has neither. It is<br />
for that reason that value operators like dollar general<br />
and family dollar are bright spots in bricks and mortar.<br />
Simply put, they are the place to go for the digitally<br />
and economically disenfranchised. These chains are<br />
prospering and therefore energizing an already dynamic<br />
market for low, low price items offering outsized value to<br />
lowest income shoppers.<br />
• China is emerging as a major consumer market for<br />
toys. In fact, euromonitor predicts that china will replace<br />
the us as the number one country for toy consumption<br />
by 2021.<br />
Based upon that, what is the toy industry going to be like<br />
in 2022?<br />
1. Baby boomers and generation x’ers will have exited<br />
the management ranks with millennials taking their place.<br />
They will change the face of retailing and manufacturing<br />
with new ideas unchained to 20th century notions of<br />
doing business.<br />
2. China will be the #1 consumer market for toys in the<br />
world. Expect to make a lot of trips to china as american<br />
toy companies become increasingly invested in the<br />
chinese domestic toy market.<br />
3. Amazon will be the number one toy retailer in the us<br />
and much of the world.<br />
4. Toys “r” us will still be with us but with different owners,<br />
fewer and smaller stores and some surprisingly strong<br />
competition from independent toy retailers.<br />
5. Independent specialty retail will grow as operators<br />
move into zip codes abandoned by toys “r” us.<br />
6. There will be a return to pre-self service retailing.<br />
7. 3d printing will have evolved to the point that it begins<br />
to cut into traditional factory based production. We will<br />
see this in both digital and physical locations that can<br />
supply personalized products on demand.<br />
8. We are already seeing companies like amc and ımax<br />
offer digital play / entertainment experiences so look<br />
for more competition for play dollars to be coming from<br />
those who offer an experience you cannot get at home.<br />
9. Licensing will still be highly important but an oversupply<br />
of shows plus a continuing parade of blockbuster movies<br />
will make choosing the right license a losing proposition.<br />
10. License royalty fees will come down for everyone<br />
except disney while the entertainment industry goes<br />
through a shakeout.<br />
