Discounters Expand Private Label to Support Spending
Retail in Turkey in 2025 posted an exceptional surge in value, registering a 47% year-on-year increase in total sales to TRY8,854.2 billion, outpacing both regional and global benchmarks and highlighting its appeal despite persistent inflation of 35%. The landscape is being shaped by pronounced consumer price sensitivity, with discounters driving growth through expansive private label offerings and rapid logistics, while retail e-commerce has emerged as the fastest-rising channel, fuelled by digital adoption and exclusive online launches. Competitive dynamics are intensifying as major players consolidate their positions, innovative delivery partnerships attract global investment, and hybrid models redefine physical and digital engagement. This signals robust opportunities for brands that can combine value, convenience, and advanced technology. To succeed, companies should prioritise private label innovation, leverage AI and mobile commerce, build an omnichannel presence, and respond swiftly to evolving digital and experiential expectations among younger and value-driven shoppers.

Retail
Retail is the sale of new and used goods to consumers from a business for personal or household consumption from retail outlets, kiosks, market stalls, vending, direct selling and e-commerce. Retail is the aggregation of Retail Offline and Retail E-Commerce. Excludes specialist retailers of motor vehicles, motorcycles, vehicle parts. Also excludes fuel sales, foodservice sales, rental transactions, wholesale sales (e.g. Cash and Carry), and sales through cannabis dispensaries in markets where cannabis is sold legally. Sales value excluding or including VAT/Sales Tax. Retail also excludes the informal retail sector. Informal retailing is retail trade which is not declared to the tax authorities. Informal retailing encompasses (a) sales generated by unregistered and unlicensed retailers, i.e. retailers operating illegally, and (b) any proportion of sales generated by a registered and licensed retailer that is not declared to the tax authorities. Unregistered and unlicensed retailers operate predominantly (although not exclusively) as street hawkers or operate open market stalls, as these channels are harder for the authorities to monitor than permanent outlets. Activities in the illegal market, which is usually understood to refer to trade in illegal, counterfeit or stolen merchandise, are included within our definition of informal retailing. Activities in the “grey market”, which is usually understood to refer to trade in legal merchandise that is sold through unauthorized channels – for example cigarettes bought legally in another country, legally imported, but sold at lower prices than in authorized channels – will be included as informal retailing if no tax is paid on sale by the retailer. However if the retailer pays tax – for example on cigarettes bought legally in another country but sold at a lower price than standard – the sale is included within formal retail.
