Turkey's E-Commerce Export Revolution: Aiming for Top 10 with $410 Billion Target

Mustafa Gültepe, Chairman of the Turkish Exporters' Assembly (TİM), underscored the transformative role of e-commerce exports in Turkey's trade. The country set a new record with $396 billion in exports in 2025 and aims to reach $410 billion this year. Gültepe highlighted the strategic importance of e-commerce, stating, 'Hundreds of thousands of Made in Turkey products reach the world daily via digital channels.' Trendyol's $1 billion investment and its achievement of $1.5 billion in e-commerce exports, delivering 55 million products to 10 million customers in 35 countries, demonstrate the sector's potential to empower SMEs and artisans. The government's focus on e-commerce as a key driver to enter the top 10 global exporters was emphasized.

Turkey's digital export strategy is an innovative model that strengthens both local producers and global competitiveness, reinforcing its economic growth trajectory.
