Industrial Food Sector

Nutrition, which is one of the most determinative factors of our quality of life and health, is simultaneously affected by many trends that have changed worldwide in recent years. Increasing demand for packaged food, rising nutritional trends (natural, gluten-free, vegan, ketogenic, etc.), development of consumer awareness and, of course, the increasing importance of sustainability and waste management are just a few of them. With all these changes, the sector's market expands in terms of both scale and diversity, while appealing to target audiences with different sensitivities becomes imperative in order to survive in the sector.

Despite the continued rapid growth in our country, as you can see in this report, the market has not yet reached saturation and there is a great potential still waiting to be addressed. Our industrial food producers are candidates to become one of the main actors in our country's service exports with their know-how. The development and success of the sector is of vital importance for many public institutions, from schools to military institutions, to universities to security. This is also extremely valuable for us industrialists, who fulfill their obligation to provide healthy and quality food to their personnel every day.

In this report, the trends listed above and all key indicators concerning the sector are analyzed in detail.
