Education, automotive and cosmetics fairs draw the most direct foreign exhibitors in Türkiye

Education fairs drew the most direct foreign exhibitors in Türkiye in 2025. Across 46 education events carrying 2,911 exhibitors in total, 1,538 were foreign companies taking their own stands, on 28,099 square metres. Automotive follows with 927 direct foreign exhibitors on 13,245 square metres, cosmetics with 894 on 11,043, food processing with 887 on 18,543, the residual Other group with 795, plastics and rubber with 704 on 10,135, agriculture with 627 on 13,075 and medical devices with 598 on 7,542. Plastics is the most concentrated case in the table: 704 direct foreign exhibitors appeared across just 3 fairs that carried 1,822 exhibitors in total. For a company assessing where foreign firms already exhibit in Türkiye, rather than where Turkish supply is largest, these are the groups the register points to, and the stand-space column shows how much room each foreign contingent actually took. All 50 sector groups carry the same direct and indirect foreign columns.
