70th Toy Fair opens to
trigger trade and set trends
Be there when the Spielwarenmesse ® invites the world of play to
its 70th anniversary. Besides a new product group, you can also
expect fantastic events and activities on each day of the toy fair.
The Turkish toy industry has a market share of about USD 1 Billion.
One of the largest market on the Asian continent, Turkish toy
industry increases. The market players here are young and possess
high spending power. As a consequence the toy industry records
steadily rising sales. The average spending on toys per child in
the Turkey is increasing. Especially the toy market in Turkey offers
great potential, because few toys have been produced there
locally until now. A large niche therefore exists, which is waiting
to be filled. Turkish demographics also offer great opportunities
for the toy market as more than 25.9 % of the population is aged
between 0 and 14 years.
Turkish toy market has a particularly big demand for outdoor
toys. A growing market is also recognizable for playground
equipment Turkish toy exports amounted to 98.44 million U.S.
dollars. In addition the Turkish toy industry experienced a growth
of 6% compared to the previous year. Regarding branded toys
an increase was achieved by even 10%. Especially wooden toys
are on the rise. The market volume for wooden toys has increased
by 10 million U.S. dollars. It is estimated that the market volume will
reach a value of 50 million U.S. dollars over the next five years. Toy
safety is a major issue: Since last five years toys are manufactured
according to CE standards and controlled by the Ministry of
Health. Likewise, the toy imports are controlled by the Ministry
of Health. The toy industry in Turkey grew 20 times during the last
five years. As leading and only magazine in the Turkish toys and
games market, Toyuncak magazine covers a wide range of
trade and logistics-related topics that concern the domestic and
international trade marketplace. The magazine will be distributed
in 70th Spielwarenmesse® International Toy Fair to be held in
Nuremberg, 30 January - 03 February 2019.
I wish lucrative business for all.

The target in chemical exports
is $20 billion in 2019
In the first half of this year, we had the excitement of
elections at İKMİB. After I was elected the President at the
General Assembly held in April, we started to work very
swiftly. As of the day I took office, we have carefully and
primarily focused on the activities that will increase the
exports in the chemical industry as well as any problems
and solutions. In line with this aim, we organized various
national and international events, and we worked
towards our target to become the second most exporting
sector on an annual basis.
2018 was a year of records for the exports despite unfavorable
circumstances such as floating rate, high interest
rate and high inflation in the second half of the year. Providing
the largest contribution to the growth of Turkey, the
export has been the main dimension that has enabled the
companies to survive in this difficult period. In 2018, Turkey
broke a record in exports and chemical industry achieved
to come off second-best sector in export figures for fourth
times on a monthly basis thanks to its performance. The
chemical industry achieved great success in September,
October and December in 2018, and achieved to be the
second most exporting sector in Turkey. As we promised,
we took firm steps to get the second place permanently.
In 2018, the exports of chemical industry, one of Turkey’s
leading sectors, amounted to $17 billion 444 million. Thus,
it exceeded the $17 billion target, getting the third place
after automotive and textile in exports. Compared to
2017, the sector exports increased by 8.23 percent in
terms of value. In 2018, our chemical exports reached 19.5
billion tons with an increase of 7.18 percent compared to
the previous year. When we look at the year 2018 on a
monthly basis, October was the month of highest export
figure with 1 billion 594 million dollars.
In 2018, the countries to which we exported the most were
Egypt, Germany, Iraq, USA, Spain, Italy, England, Netherlands,
Greece and Iran. Also, in 2018, the European Union
Toyuncak Exports Turkey 2019
6

countries ranked first with a share of 6.70 billion dollars in
exports and 38.41 percent among the country groups to
which the most of chemical industry exports were made.
EU countries were followed by Near and Middle East Asian
countries with 3.13 billion dollars of export and a share
of 17.97%. Other European countries came in third with
3.23 billion dollars in exports and a share of 13.04%, North
African countries came in fourth with 1.71 billion dollars in
exports and a share of 9.85%, and other Asian countries
came in fifth with 1.38 billion dollars in exports and a share
of 7.91%.
We have 12 sub-sectors in the chemical industry. Among
the five sub-sectors to which we made the most exports
in 2018, plastics and plastic products was in the first place
with exports of 5 billion 886 million dollars. Mineral fuels,
mineral oils and products came in second with exports
of 3 billion 292 million dollars, inorganic chemicals came
in third with exports of 1 billion 808 million dollars, rubber,
rubber goods came in fourth with exports of 1 billion 363
million dollars, and cosmetics and soap sub-sector came
in fifth with exports of 1 billion 146 million dollars.
Our exports continue to increase but in today’s environment
when the global competition is getting fiercer every
passing day, the value of high value-added production
and unit kilogram value of exports should also be increased.
This depends significantly on the strength of R&D
and innovation. Accounting for about 33% of exports in
the chemical industry, the plastics and plastic products
sub-sector is a foreign-dependent sector on raw materials
at 90%. The STAR Refinery, which was opened this year
to operate in the field of petrochemistry, will support our
industry in terms of chemical exports, but it is not enough.
We need at least 4-5 more facilities operating in the field
of petrochemistry. Moreover, construction of a plant with
a capacity of 450,000 tons of polypropylene production
per year will start in the Ceyhan petrochemical industry
zone in 2019. As these and similar high-volume facilities
start to operate, our dependency on imports will decrease
in the sub-sectors, which will in turn contribute positively
to our exports.
Also, technical obstacles for the introduction of drugs
produced in Turkey to global markets have been lifted
to a large extent thanks to the membership of Turkish
Medicines and Medical Devices Agency (TİTCK) with the
Pharmaceutical Inspection Co-operation Scheme (PIC/S),
which actually started on January 1, 2018, in the pharmaceutical
industry, one of the fields offering the highest
value-added products in the chemical industry. This is an
important development for the increase of exports in the
pharmaceutical industry. We, as İKMİB, follow these important
developments related to our sectors and besides
our efforts to inform our companies about such developments,
we continue to carry out comprehensive activities
as the practitioner of our Union while supporting all kinds
of projects for increasing the exports that are made by
the pharmaceutical and medical sectors to the world.
In addition, we need to give importance to promotion
and marketing activities for sustainable export growth.
We, as İKMİB, support the activities that will increase the
exports of our companies. In this context, we organized
a total of 18 national and international trade and hosted
buyer events, 10 exhibitions with domestic participation,
6 projects for development of sectoral international
competition (UR-GE), 6 sector trainings, 5 seminars and
4 workshops in 2018. We will continue to support our
exporters with might and main by means of 19 exhibitions
with domestic participation, 19 sectoral trade
delegation and 8 hosted buyer events that we plan to
organize in 2019.
In 2018, we concluded the application procedures of
196 member companies that met the conditions for
obtaining green passports. In addition to the supports
provided by TİM and Ministry of Trade, we offered 20%
support for the member companies to benefit from
e-commerce websites, namely Alibaba, Turkish Exporters,
Kompass and Chemorbis. 1380 members benefited
from this support. We cooperated with the NGOs, and
in 2019 we will perform activities to increase the export
of our sectors more extensively. We are pleased that
our government has supported the promises we made
during the election process with the idea that they are
important for our sector. As İKMİB, we are working hard
to improve the sector and exports. In order to increase
our exports and reach the 2023 targets, we need to
guide our SMEs to export more. In this regard, in 2019 we
will focus on expansion of e-commerce network, facilitating
the access of exporters to financing, decreasing the
limit for green passport to 500 thousand dollars in the first
stage, creating container lines, digital transformation,
indigenization in chemical industry, ensuring more fair
share and efficient use of the funds of Turkey Promotion
Group (TTG), and expansion of the network of Turkish
Trade Centers. With the TTG projects, we aim to promote
our country and our exports more effectively.
In particular, e-commerce is among the second 100-day
targets of the Ministry of Trade as the “electronic export
platform”. We will work closely with our government in
this field in order to keep up with the digital transformation
in the global trade, make the processes faster and
contribute to our country’s exports to reach the targets
of 2023. In order to achieve the target export volume
in 2019, we convey our requests to and we hold talks
with the Ministry of Trade to improve the green passport
limit and duration, increase the participation rates of
exhibitors and support our industrialist in establishing a
petrochemical plant. Our task is to work harder to meet
our national target of 200 billion dollar as announced by
the President. Accordingly, we will work hard to exceed
the $20 billion level by increasing our sector exports by
15 percent in 2019.

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

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

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