Med Expo Turkey is an international pharmaceutical and healthcare products exhibition held annually in Istanbul. Turkey's strategic location at the crossroads of Europe, Asia, and the Middle East makes Istanbul an ideal hub for reaching Central Asian, Balkan, Black Sea, and Middle Eastern markets simultaneously. TDAP organizes Pakistan's delegation to Med Expo to connect manufacturers with Turkish distributors and re-export networks.
Turkey is one of the top 20 pharmaceutical markets globally with annual drug consumption exceeding $10 billion. While Turkey has a strong domestic manufacturing base, it imports APIs, specialty chemicals, and certain finished dosage forms from Pakistan. Pakistani companies exporting to Turkey need TITCK (Turkish Medicines and Medical Devices Agency) approval.
Turkish trading and distribution companies often serve as intermediaries for markets in Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, and Azerbaijan. Establishing relationships with Turkish distributors at Med Expo can open pathways to these Central Asian markets, complementing direct export efforts to these countries.
