Societal changes, rapid urbanization, changing
consumer habits, and others are some of the
several reasons that derive the demand for frozen
food in Turkey. Growing number of women in
workplace has led to increase in demand for
frozen and pre-packed food

Turkey cold chain industry is in its nascent
stages and hence lacks proper infrastructure. The
condition of roads is poor in rural parts of the
country and the vehicle fleet is gradually
becoming obsolete, as newer products in the
market require a transportation fleet with the
latest technology. Furthermore, the
availability of cold storage space in the country
does not meet the demand for it, which poses a
great challenge to the cold chain industry. The
entire logistical process needs to be optimized
as at many instances there are delays in
unloading, lack of refrigeration and improper
coordination along the supply chain.

The cold chain market in Turkey is witnessing a
gradual increase in the number of value added
service providers because of a heightened demand
in the local and international market. This has
led to cold chain companies in realizing the
benefits of providing end-to-end services to its
customers. Companies such as Polar Express have
already started providing a range of value added
services to its customers and has plan to expand
its spectrum of service.

Traditionally, fresh produce was used for
preparing food, but due to the rapid urbanization
and convenience there has been a shift in the
preference of Turkish consumer towards frozen
food. Economic factors such as rise in prices of
fresh produce are also playing a big role in
changing consumption patterns. There is also
demand for foreign foods and imported or luxury
food brands by the consumer class with higher
income levels. The aforementioned reasons
collectively have led to the growth in demand for
frozen food in Turkey. The ice-cream and frozen
desserts industry in Turkey in 2017 was around
USD 959.5 million and is expected to reach USD
1,100.4 million by 2022.

The companies have started forming strategic
alliances with e-commerce, especially with
companies dealing in delivering of fresh food,
fish, sea food and meat products. The development
and integration of e-commerce with cold chain has
provided greater level of opportunity to the new
players to enter into the market. The
E-Commerce market for 2017 in Turkey is estimated
to be USD 5,738 million. The increased
penetration of digital systems in the country has
bolstered the sales through ecommerce portals.
