?Why do we export machine-made carpets
After many years, Iranian carpets have reached a position that is known in most parts of the world. This knowledge of carpets led the global market to a wide demand for machine-made and handmade carpets. If, above all, the question for you is, why do we export? It should be said that carpet exports these days, despite all the tensions and records that have occurred in it, still play a part in the development and cycle of the Iranian economy.
This means that you can easily sell your product in global markets and find your customers, and you can even count on these customers as regular carpet export customers.
Until almost a quarter of a century ago, Iranian carpets were considered a capital good in various countries. This means that, like the dollar and gold, its price fluctuated according to global market fluctuations. After going through a long process throughout these 25 years, the carpet changed from a capital good to a consumer good. Iran was ranked second in the world market for machine-made carpets after India, but was at the top of the world in terms of quality and beauty.
Export carpets
In the export of carpets, only handmade carpets have not been the target of Iran’s export cycle. Carpets, rugs and even carpets have their place of sale. Maybe in Iran and domestic markets, we differentiate between carpet and rug, but basically it is a type of flooring that has always been in demand and is considered as a sale of carpets.
Best practices and exports
The United States moved to China and India by imposing export sanctions instead of buying in the Iranian markets, and this caused the carpet export market to fluctuate for a while. Iran also turned to European markets in order not to lose its position, and is still one of the toughest competitors for China and India in the carpet market.
If you leave the task of exporting carpets to a skilled and trusted person, this process will accelerate. The good advantage of the carpet trade is that due to the popularity of Iranian carpets, it can be easily sold in the market and find customers.
