How to Reach Wholesalers in Turkey – Step-by-Step Guide for International Manufacturers

Turkey, with its strong domestic market and strategic location, offers tremendous opportunities for international manufacturers across multiple sectors. If you want to reach wholesalers in Turkey, following the right strategies is essential. This step-by-step guide will help you expand your business into the Turkish market successfully.

1. Market and Sector Analysis in Turkey

Understanding which sectors have high demand for your products is the first step to reaching wholesalers in Turkey. Key sectors include:

  • Food and beverages

  • Textiles and ready-to-wear clothing

  • Furniture and home goods

  • Electronics and appliances

Conducting a sector analysis helps identify fast-moving products and the right wholesalers to target.

2. Wholesaler Lists and Trade Directories

One of the fastest ways to connect with wholesalers in Turkey is using official trade directories and databases:

  • Chambers of Commerce in Turkey – request member lists from local chambers.

  • Industry-specific directories – available for furniture, textiles, food, and more.

  • Online platforms – Kompass, Alibaba Turkey, and Turkishexporter allow you to contact companies directly.

These resources help you create a targeted wholesaler list efficiently.

3. Trade Fairs and Events in Turkey

Attending sector-specific trade fairs is a highly effective way to meet wholesalers face-to-face:

  • CNR Expo and Istanbul Fair Center – fairs for food, textiles, electronics, and furniture.

  • Regional fairs in Ankara and Izmir – ideal for targeting local wholesalers.

Trade fairs also allow you to showcase your products and establish personal connections.

4. Digital Marketing and Social Media Strategies

Many Turkish wholesalers are active on LinkedIn, Instagram, and B2B platforms.

  • LinkedIn outreach – connect with relevant companies and introduce your products.

  • Email marketing – send catalogs, product offers, and promotional materials effectively.

Digital strategies help you reach wholesalers without physical presence.

5. Working with a Local Partner or Distributor

Partnering with a local distributor or partner enhances credibility and provides advantages in logistics, local regulations, and market knowledge.
