According to the market research study at Technavio, the leather and allied products market in Turkey is expected to witness steady growth at a CAGR of close to 4% over the forecast period. Turkey is a popular destination for tourists worldwide as it is home to several beautiful historical sites and seaside resorts. In 2014, the number of tourists visiting the country increased by nearly 5% compared to the previous years, bringing the country closer to the fifth spot among the top tourists destinations worldwide. For example, Grand Bazaar in Istanbul is frequented by nearly 200,000 to 400,000 visitors on a daily basis.

This close collaboration enables manufacturers to align their production processes and product portfolios with the market trends prevailing in other countries.
