As colder weather arrives in Turkey, local heating equipment markets in regions such as Van, Kahramanmaraş, and Yüksekova are experiencing increased seasonal activity. 

In Van, early cold weather has prompted an early start to the stove season at the Sobacılar Çarşısı. Manufacturers are focusing on traditional heating solutions like ‘tezek’ (dung) and ‘kuzine’ stoves to serve rural populations, while also providing repair services for turbo-style models. 

In other regions, consumer preferences and economic factors are shaping the market. While traditional coal and wood stoves remain staples in rural areas, there is rising interest in pellet stoves for their aesthetic qualities. However, merchants in Yüksekova report that rising production costs and diminished purchasing power are driving many consumers toward second-hand products. Additionally, local artisans face increasing competition from industrial-scale production, which has led to a decline in custom orders.
