Turkey is still concluding welded pipe sales to the Middle East and Balkans. However, European buyers’ demand for Turkish welded pipe has significantly declined as they have started to prioritize domestically produced products, leading a fall in Turkish welded pipe exports to the region.
Turkish producers’ offer range for ERW pipes and hollow sections with 2-4 mm wall thickness made from hot rolled coil (HRC) of S235 grade as per EN 10219 to their export markets has moved sideways week on week at $630-660/mt FOB. However, Turkish steelmaker’s offers for welded pipe are mostly closer to the upper end at around $650-660/mt FOB.
