According to market sources, Turkish producers’ export offer range for ERW pipes and hollow sections with 2-4 mm wall thickness made from HRC of S235 grade as per EN 10219 is still at $570-590/mt FOB, while $10/mt discounts on the lower end of this price range are possible for buyers of larger volumes.
While market sources state that Turkish pipe producers are receiving weak demand from the international markets, it is heard that demand received from Africa and Middle East for Turkish welded pipe and hollow sections has been slowing down due to the approaching Feast of Sacrifice holiday.
