With the presence of a large customer base from industries such as food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, telecom, heavy industries, and other end-user verticals, the logistics industry is attracting huge investments. Turkey's government is continuously increasing its budgetary allocation for the infrastructure sector, which will reduce the cost of transportation and freight and make way for new entrants in the market.
