Cengiz Yaman: “Paintistanbul Opens the Door to New Collaborations”
CNG Expo Founder and CEO Cengiz Yaman emphasized that Paintistanbul is an important platform contributing to export growth and the sustainable development of the paint industry.
Yaman commented:
Paintistanbul Fair brings local manufacturers and international buyers together, paving the way for new collaborations and accelerating the technological transformation of the sector.
According to Strategic Revenue Insights, the global paint, coatings, and functional chemicals market is expected to grow from $246.7 billion in 2024 to $485.4 billion by 2033. Rising demand for coatings in the automotive, construction, electronics, healthcare, and energy sectors is positioning high-performance coatings and functional chemicals as strategic solutions.
Türkiye Is Europe’s 5th Largest Paint Producer
Cengiz Yaman also highlighted Türkiye’s strong regional position in the paint industry, supported by its advanced production infrastructure and technological capacity.
“Today, Türkiye is Europe’s 5th largest paint producer. With increasing production capacity, a stronger technological infrastructure, and expanding export potential, the sector continues to take decisive steps toward becoming an internationally influential player in its region,” Yaman said.
Kenan Baytaş: “We Are Seeing a Clear Increase in Professional Visitor Demand”
BOSAD President Kenan Baytaş noted that ongoing geopolitical developments in the Middle East and the postponement or rescheduling of some trade fairs in the region have directed international industry representatives toward alternative meeting points.
Baytaş stated that Istanbul’s logistical advantages, strong production infrastructure, and regional trade hub position have increased interest in Paintistanbul:
We believe the strong interest from the region will further strengthen the international character of the fair and contribute significantly to new commercial collaborations. Therefore, we expect Paintistanbul to reach a much higher international participation rate this year compared to previous editions.
Addressing a Broad Professional Audience
Paintistanbul 2026 will appeal to a wide professional audience, from furniture manufacturers and paint applicators to industrial producers, construction, insulation, decoration, varnish and ink manufacturers, adhesive producers, hardware retailers, and supply chain stakeholders.
With global market growth, Türkiye’s production capacity, and Istanbul’s strategic location coming together, Paintistanbul 2026 is expected to stand out as one of the year’s most important trade and collaboration platforms for the paint and coatings industry.
