During the meetings, Jeddah Consul General Mustafa Ünal, Jeddah Trade Attaché Oğuz Şahin, and officials from the Jeddah Chamber of Commerce visited the Turkish companies individually to receive information about their products and fields of activity. In Jeddah, 53 Saudi companies participated, and 267 B2B meetings were conducted.
According to Trade Map data, Türkiye’s total exports to Saudi Arabia amounted to USD 3.67 billion in 2024, while exports of the HVAC sector remained at USD 125.3 million. Türkiye’s share in Saudi Arabia’s HVAC sector imports was recorded at 1.21%.
In light of these figures, it was emphasized that new initiatives are of great importance to strengthen Türkiye’s presence in the Saudi Arabian market and to increase its share in sectoral imports. In particular, the strong interest of Saudi business people in sourcing exporters and products from Türkiye was considered a significant opportunity, highlighting that the trade delegation organization provided an important platform for establishing new business partnerships and expanding commercial activities.
