Dubai, 22 March 2018: The UAE is proving to be one of Türkiye’s fastest growing export markets for jewellery in the Middle East. According to figures from Turkish Exporters Assembly (TİM), Türkiye’s jewellery exports saw a 43 percent year-on-year growth, from USD 744,982,510 in 2016 to USD 1,065,335,570 in 2017, making it a substantial and indispensable contributor to the UAE’s jewellery market.

A leader in jewellery production, Türkiye ranks among the top three global producers with a total capacity to produce 400 tons of gold and 200 tons of silver annually. Known for its unique craftsmanship, excellent finishing and flexible production, Türkiye’s jewellery sector has enjoyed a strong customer base in the UAE.

Commenting on the growth in exports, Serdar Kumbaraci, Turkish Trade Centre (TTC) UAE Country Manager said: “Turkish jewellery is recognized worldwide for its design, innovation and quality and so it comes as no surprise that our export figures are seeing such a notable increase. TTC is instrumental in supporting the jewellery exporters to form a strong and mutually beneficial relationship with the UAE. In a very short span of time, they have proven their ability to deliver quality products that surpass market needs.”

Highlighting these exquisite designs is the Istanbul Jewellery Show, the world’s 5th largest jewellery exhibition, where UAE based buyers will have an opportunity to meet renowned manufacturers, wholesalers, suppliers, retailers and designers.
