Turkey Food Logistics Market Size: Forecast (2026- 2032)

The Turkey Food Logistics Market size is valued at around USD 1.07 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach USD 1.64 billion by 2032. Along with this, the market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of around 6.35% during the forecast period, i.e., 2026-32.

Turkey Food Logistics Market Outlook:

Turkey’s food logistics industry is expanding rapidly, driven by strong agricultural exports, a growing food manufacturing base, and continuous upgrades in cold-chain infrastructure. For instance, according to Turkey’s Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, the country achieved approximately USD36 billion in agricultural exports in 2024, a record that reflects its increasing role as a regional food supplier. This growth has intensified the need for efficient, temperature-controlled logistics to maintain product quality across long distances.

Similarly, government-backed programs such as the EU-aligned IPARD rural development initiative have accelerated investments in modern storage and refrigerated transport systems, helping reduce post-harvest losses and ensuring food safety standards. For reference, Turkey hosts around 58,000 registered food and beverage manufacturers as of 2024, illustrating the vast domestic network that depends on reliable distribution and warehousing facilities.

Additionally, the market is seeing strategic consolidation. A notable instance is DFDS’s 2024 acquisition of Ekol Logistics’ international transport network, valued at approximately USD545 million, enhancing Turkey’s cold-chain connectivity between Europe and the Middle East. Likewise, logistics firms are adopting IoT-based temperature monitoring, renewable-powered cold storage, and eco-friendly refrigerants to meet export quality and sustainability goals.

Turkey Food Logistics Market Key Recent Developments:

  • August 2025: PolarXP opened a new 8,400 m2 cold-chain warehouse in Diyarbakir with storage for frozen, chilled, and ambient goods. This expansion strengthens Turkey's food logistics network, supports temperature-sensitive distribution in the southeast region, reduces spoilage, and improves delivery efficiency for local producers and national food suppliers.
  • June 2025: DHL Supply Chain Turkey launched its Lead Logistics Partner (LLP) services, offering end-to-end supply chain design, process management, and real-time digital visibility. This initiative enhances logistics efficiency, supports food supply reliability, and strengthens Turkey's position as a technology-driven logistics hub in regional food distribution.

Turkey Food Logistics Market Drivers:

Strong Government Investment in Logistics Infrastructure

Government investment plays a major role in driving the growth of Turkey’s food logistics industry. The Turkish government has prioritized logistics modernization through national transport strategies and rural development programs that support cold-chain expansion and storage facilities. For instance, under the EU-backed IPARD program, Turkey has financed over 1,700 projects in agricultural processing and logistics infrastructure since 2021, improving rural connectivity and food safety standards. Additionally, the 2023 National Logistics Master Plan aims to increase Turkey’s logistics performance index and enhance multimodal transport links between ports, roads, and railways, crucial for faster food exports, by allocating about USD50 billion for over five years.

Moreover, major public-private partnerships, such as the expansion of Mersin and Izmir ports and ongoing upgrades in Ankara’s logistics centers, strengthen the efficiency of food transport across regions. These infrastructure developments not only reduce transit time and spoilage in perishable goods but also position Turkey as a regional food-distribution hub connecting Europe, Asia, and the Middle East.

Expanding E-Commerce and Online Grocery Delivery

The rapid rise of e-commerce and online grocery delivery is a key driver of Turkey’s food logistics industry. Digital platforms have transformed how consumers purchase fresh and packaged foods, increasing demand for temperature-controlled storage and last-mile delivery. For instance, Turkey’s e-commerce volume surged by 115% year-on-year in 2023, reaching nearly USD62 billion, according to the Turkish Ministry of Trade. Food, beverages, and fast-moving consumer goods were among the fastest-growing categories.

Similarly, Migros Sanal Market, one of the country’s leading online grocers, reported over 1 million active users in 2024, while ultrafast delivery firm Getir expanded its service network to more than 80 Turkish cities and over 1,200 micro-fulfillment centers. These developments have boosted the need for refrigerated warehouses, route optimization, and real-time temperature monitoring to maintain product freshness. As online food sales continue to rise, e-commerce logistics is becoming a vital backbone for Turkey’s expanding cold-chain and food distribution infrastructure.
