ICCX SPECIAL12 CPI %u2013 Concrete Plant International %u2013 2 | 2026 www.cpi-worldwide.comThe construction industry is one of the key drivers of growth in the Turkish economy and plays a crucial role in the country%u2019s infrastructural, urban, and industrial development. According to the 2025 industry report by the %u201cInvestment and Finance Office - Presidency of the Republic of T%u00fcrkiye,%u201d the sector accounted for 7.3 percent of gross domestic product in the first quarter of 2025, while real growth in the second quarter, at 10.9 percent, was significantly above the overall economic average. This underlines the industry%u2019s importance as an economic engine and an investment field with long-term prospects. The first ICCX T%u00fcrkiye 2026 will take place on 13 and 14 May 2026 in Istanbul and directly addresses this dynamic development with its unique concept combining an interdisciplinary conference with a targeted trade exhibition. Practice-oriented and process-related presentations by recognized experts, along with in-depth information on machinery and plant technology for the production of concrete and precast concrete components, as well as concrete technology solutions, all provide a clear focus for the event. Anyone attending an ICCX event is guaranteed to be provided with a wealth of valuable information.Concrete and precast concrete as the backbone of infrastructure and urbanizationConcrete construction and infrastructure development form the backbone of this positive growth. Highways, bridges, tunnels, airports, metro systems, and large-scale residential districts shape the face of modern Turkey. Major projects such as Istanbul Airport, the Yavuz Sultan Selim Bridge, the Eurasia Tunnel, and the %u00c7anakkale 1915 Bridge exemplify the sector%u2019s technical capabilities and the extensive use of complex concrete and structural solutions. Many of these projects are realized through public-private partnership (PPP) or build-operate-transfer (BOT) models, which integrate construction, financing, and operation over the long term.Housing construction, urban renewal, and industrialized building methodsIn addition to transport infrastructure, housing construction plays a central role. The state housing agency TOK%u0130 is one of the key players, driving large-scale programs in social housing and urban redevelopment. Since its establishment, around 1.5 million housing units have been built, complemented by public buildings such as schools, hospitals, and administrative facilities. The high demand for housing particularly promotes industrialized construction methods, precast systems, and cost-efficient concrete structures.Focus on sustainability and decarbonizationWith the goal of achieving climate neutrality by 2053, the decarbonization of the construction and building materials industry is becoming increasingly important. Energy-intensive sectors in particular, such as cement and concrete production, are under pressure to adapt. European regulations such as the Green Deal and the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) are accelerating investments in low-CO2cements, alternative binders, and energy-efficient production processes. As a result, sustainable construction is evolving from a regulatory requirement into a strategic competitive factor %u2013 a development also noticeable in Turkey.
