Turkey Data Center Market – Investment Analysis & Growth Opportunities 2026-2031

TURKEY DATA CENTER MARKET SIZE ANALYSIS

The Turkey data center market size was valued at USD 715 million in 2025 and is expected to reach USD 1.79 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 16.56% during the forecast period. The data center market in Turkey is undergoing a significant transformation, shifting from a primary focus on domestic needs to becoming a pivotal regional hub for data infrastructure. With promising growth projections on the horizon, there is an emergence of secondary markets outside of Istanbul, responding to the rising demand from various sectors such as cloud computing, telecommunications, and enterprise-level businesses. This positions the market for substantial growth all the way through the decade.

The cost of building data centers in Turkey is relatively high, averaging around $9 million to $10 million per MW; this is higher compared with several other small markets. The costs are likely to increase YoY due to factors such as increasing interest rates, inflation, and government policies.

Google Cloud and Turkcell have agreed on a major strategic collaboration to develop the country’s first hyperscale cloud region, supported by data center infrastructure, with Google committing about $2 billion over roughly 10 years, as well as Turkcell planning to invest approximately $1 billion in data centers and cloud technologies by 2032.

As of September 2025, Turkey had around 32 existing colocation data center facilities across multiple locations, including Izmir, Ankara, and Istanbul. Istanbul is concentrated with the highest number of colocation data centers in Turkey, accounting for 21 colocation facilities.
