In his statement, commenting on all three sectors that make up the Life Sciences concept, Yaman said: "The Turkish cosmetics and home care products sector, which grows on average 10 percent annually, exports to 162 countries and maintains a foreign trade surplus. Our aim through specialized fairs is to contribute to this growth. In the food sector, we believe Turkey has great potential with its favorable geographical conditions and climate, and vast and fertile lands. Looking at the global pharmaceutical market, we see that it reached a volume of 1.5 trillion dollars in 2022. Turkey completed 2022 in the pharmaceutical export rankings at 21st place globally with USD 1.92 billion, a 0.6 percent increase. We believe that trade fairs will have an impact in increasing Turkey's share of this market." Fair visitors will be able to obtain information from expert speakers about the latest developments and technologies in the sector through the conference program and other events to be held between 31 May – 2 June 2023.     Artkim Fuarcılık, an Artkim Group entity, began its activities in the trade fair sector with its first organization in 2006 and over the years has brought 13 different specialized trade fairs to international standards covering the chemical, paints, cosmetics, food, pharmaceutical, polyurethane, composite, adhesive, technical foam, textile, surface treatment, industrial painting technologies and footwear sectors.
