Geostrategic Location

Situated between Europe, the Middle East and Asia, surrounded by three seas, Turkey enjoys favourable geostrategics. Capitalizing on its geostrategic location and utilizing an agile fiscal mechanism in the region, Turkey has access to a market worth of USD 24 trillion with 1.6 billion customers in Europe, Eurasia, the Middle East and North Africa.

Why Istanbul?

Home to numerous civilizations throughout its more than eight thousand years of history, Istanbul is the only city located on two continents: Asia and Europe. Its cultural heritage, young and educated population and its upper-middle and high-income household make Istanbul an unmatched retail market.

Istanbul gathers people from different cultures and backgrounds, making it a modern metropolitan city. Istanbul has a population of up to 14 million people and ranks among the first seven cities worth visiting in the world.

A growing and young population with westernized tastes in fashion lead to strong retail sales growth for local and international retailers, including apparel.

Istanbul is also home to The Grand Bazaar, the oldest and largest shopping area in the world, with over 4,000 stores some dating back to the fifteen century.

Shopping Destination

It has been predicted that in 2023, every city in Turkey will have at least one shopping mall and Istanbul will become a shopping and entertainment destination for neighbouring countries. With a further 670,000 sq.m of new shopping centre space currently under construction, Turkey presents huge potential for international retailers looking for markets with high growth rates.

Capitalizing on its geostrategic location and utilizing an agile fiscal mechanism in the region, Turkey has access to a market worth of USD 24 trillion with 1.6 billion customers in Europe, Eurasia, the Middle East and North Africa.

Strong Economic Growth

As an outstanding emerging country, Turkey’s GDP growth at around 6% on average since 2002, was well above average growth of Emerging Markets at 2.9% (emerging and developing Europe), chiefly due to an ideal and rare combination of a stable political environment, sound macro policies and favourable demographics. Turkey’s steady and high growth rate is expected to continue in the mid-term with a forecast of 3.5% p.a.

Following stellar economic performance, GDP per capita has more than tripled in the last fifteen years, drawing Turkey to a notably urbanized, upper-middle income country. Turkey’s upper-middle and high income classes and young, educated workforce are expected to continue to drive economic growth and stability.

Young, Educated and Skilled Population

Turkey is the largest educated youth population in Europe with half of its population below the age of 30. UN projects that the population will continue to grow by 33% in the next 30 years for which major investments in infrastructure and energy sector are underway and geared to accommodate.

With its young, educated and skilled human capital, Turkey is projected to keep abreast of developed countries and become the 14th biggest economy by 2030 and the 9th biggest economy by 2050 according to Goldman Sachs.
