2020 data of the air-conditioning sector were reviewed during the webinar titled “İSKİD Assesses 2020 Data of Turkey’s Air-Conditioning Sector” held
by İSKİD (Air-conditioning and Refrigeration Manufacturers’ Association). The digital meeting held on 23 March, Tuesday were attended by Ozan Atasoy, Chairman of the Board of İSKİD, Tunç Korun, Vice Chairman of the Statistical Committee of İSKİD, and Volkan Arslan, Member of the Statistical Committee of İSKİD.

The webinar dealing with the issues of “İSKİD’s Method of Collection of Statistics, Access to the System, Principles of Confidentiality, Product Groups for Which Data Are Collected and How to Access Statistics”, as well as “Turkey’s Market and Export Data, Impact of the Covid-19 outbreak on the HVAC&R Sector and the Existing Situation” also featured a Q&A session. During his speech delivered at the webinar, Volkan Arslan talked about the methods of collecting and publishing İSKİD Statistics. Stating that statistical data are gathered from İSKİD members in total 27 categories for 97 companies’ product groups, Arslan said: “Companies which are not members to İSKİD may provide data to these statistical studies in these categories. The companies which provide statistical data will have the chance to access the reports in the product group for which they provided data, but the companies which failed to provide data in the relevant category will get the report in return for a fee”.

Arslan added that improvements have been constantly ensured starting from 1994 in which İSKİD statistics were published for the first time, and now the results are published faster and with more accuracy together with the collection of the last 3 years’ data from the digital platforms. Arslan concluded his words by saying: “One of the most sensitive aspects of collection of statistics is confidentiality of data. Necessary measures were taken for ensuring the highest level of confidentiality during the installation of digital structure. From now on, efforts will be spent on increasing the number of companies to participate in the statistical efforts and publication of statistical reports together with future years’ reports in the form of forecasts”.
