Export of Iranian Building Materials to the Republic of Azerbaijan
As one of the leading producers of construction materials in the region, Iran has established a strong position in neighboring markets, particularly in the Republic of Azerbaijan. Thanks to geographic proximity, Azerbaijan’s fast-growing urban development projects, and the high quality of Iranian products, this market has become a strategic destination for Iranian exports.
According to official data, Iran’s non-oil trade with Azerbaijan reached about USD 688 million in 2022/23, marking significant growth compared to the previous year. Although exports declined during certain periods—such as the first seven months of 2023/24— Iran remains one of Azerbaijan’s main suppliers. The latest figures (January–May 2025) show exports worth USD 251.9 million, with building materials accounting for a considerable share.
Key Iranian Construction Materials Exported to Azerbaijan
- Portland cement and clinker
- Ceramic and porcelain tiles (floor, wall, and decorative)
- Building stones (travertine, marble, granite, onyx, and processed stones)
- Construction glass and double-glazed glass
- Structural steel products (rebar, beams, angles, and profiles)
- Steel and polyethylene pipes for water and gas networks

- Waterproofing and insulation materials (bitumen sheets, prefabricated panels, thermal and moisture insulation)
These products enjoy high demand in Azerbaijan’s construction sector due to their durability, cost-effectiveness, and reliability.
