Iran-Turkey Trade Limitations

The article explains that trade between Iran and Turkey, despite reaching a value of approximately $5.6 billion in 2025, has not yet reached its full potential due to the structure of exchanges, which are primarily focused on raw material exports and limited export capabilities. Data shows that Turkey’s exports to Iran mainly consist of value-added industrial goods such as machinery and electrical equipment, while Iran’s exports are more geared toward raw materials like aluminum, copper, and fruits. This reflects that bilateral relations depend on the type of exchanged commodities. International sanctions and geopolitical events, particularly the U.S. withdrawal from the nuclear agreement, cause significant fluctuations in the volume of trade between the two countries, with noticeable declines during sanction periods. It is recommended that Iran strengthen its trade relations by moving from direct exports to joint production collaborations with Turkey, thereby enhancing added value and expanding markets through Turkey as a manufacturing and export hub. This involves investing in partnership relationships to boost re-exporting to regional and international markets, which requires revitalizing the role of the private sector and revising trade agreements to foster economic partnership and leverage Turkey’s infrastructure, especially its proximity to Europe.
