Turkey Data Center Infrastructure Market Size, Share & Forecast to 2035

The Turkey Data Center Infrastructure Market is valued at USD 679.28 million in 2026 and is projected to reach USD 1.74 billion by 2035, up from USD 419.12 million in 2025, a CAGR of 15.30% from 2025 to 2035 (DC Market Insights estimate). Ankara, not Istanbul, now sets the pace: about 222 MW of named projects sit in the capital and its organised industrial zones, and Turkey’s Artificial Intelligence Vision and Action Plan (Invest in Türkiye Office, June 2026) targets at least 1 GW of data center capacity by 2030. According to the Ministry of Industry and Technology, its High-Impact Technology investment programme (HIT-30) data center call of October 2025 only funds halls of 30 MW of IT load or more with a power usage effectiveness (PUE) no higher than 1.4, which pushes buyers towards larger switchgear, medium-voltage substations and chilled-water or liquid-ready cooling. Turkey Data Center Infrastructure covers the physical facility layers inside Turkish data centers: electrical, mechanical and cooling, civil, structural and architectural works, and racks, cabling and physical network. The 2025 receipt is 30 MW of new IT load × USD 8.60 million of facility content per MW = USD 258.00 million, plus USD 136.50 million of upgrades across a 325 MW average installed base and USD 24.62 million of racks and cabling. Mechanical and cooling infrastructure grows fastest at 18.15% a year because AI halls need more heat rejection per MW, and Ankara and Central Anatolia is the fastest region at 19.52% a year as hyperscale and sovereign projects cluster there.

How Large Is Turkey’s Data Center Infrastructure Spend in 2026?

DC Market Insights values Turkey’s data center infrastructure spend at USD 679.28 million in 2026, 62.07% above the USD 419.12 million of 2025, because new IT completions almost double from 30 MW to 55 MW.

• 2025 size: USD 419.12 million (DC Market Insights estimate).
• 2026 size: USD 679.28 million.
• 2030 size: USD 1.34 billion.
• 2035 size: USD 1.74 billion.
• CAGR 2025-2035: 15.30% in the base case; 2035 low case USD 1.28 billion, high case USD 2.12 billion.

Key Takeaways: What Should Buyers of Turkish Data Center Infrastructure Know?

Four findings carry the Turkey Data Center Infrastructure Market forecast, each with its figure and the reason behind it.

• Turkey data center infrastructure new-build spend jumps 86.28% in 2026 (DC Market Insights estimate), from USD 274.50 million to USD 511.34 million, because 55 MW of new IT load reaches completion as Turkcell’s Ankara modules and the first 9.6 MW phase of the Ankara Data Hub come online.
• Ankara and Central Anatolia rises from 30.0% to 43.0% of spend by 2035, because the Khazna, Turkcell-Google and Türk Telekom campuses all sit in Başkent OSB or the capital, away from Istanbul’s fault zones.
• Cooling’s share climbs from 20.2% to 25.8% of spend by 2035, because the HIT-30 PUE cap of 1.4 and AI racks force chilled-water plant and liquid-ready loops into every new hall.
• Upgrades of the installed base reach USD 678.00 million by 2035, 39.0% of the market, because 340 MW of older enterprise and bank halls must meet Tier III resilience and the 2018 Turkish Building Earthquake Code.

What Is the Outlook for the Turkey Data Center Infrastructure Market to 2035?

The Turkey Data Center Infrastructure Market size was valued at USD 189.69 million in 2020, reached USD 419.12 million in 2025, and is anticipated to reach USD 1.74 billion by 2035, at a CAGR of 15.30% during the forecast period.

Attribute	Value
Historical period	2020-2024
Base year	2025
Forecast period	2026-2035
Market size 2025	USD 419.12 million
Market size 2026	USD 679.28 million
CAGR 2025-2035	15.30%
Market size 2035	USD 1.74 billion

Growth from 2020 to 2025 ran at 17.18% a year as installed IT load rose from 240 MW to 340 MW. DC Market Insights expects a second, steeper step from 2026 to 2030, when 400 MW of new IT load lifts annual spend to USD 1.34 billion, before growth slows to 5.41% a year after 2030 as completions settle at about 100 MW a year. The electrical, mechanical and civil lines match the power, cooling and construction lines of the Turkey Data Center Market report exactly, so the Turkey Data Center Infrastructure Market is the facility layer of that market: USD 419.12 million is 30.97% of the USD 1.35 billion parent total in 2025 and 38.41% of USD 4.53 billion in 2035.

What Does Turkey Data Center Infrastructure Include, and Where Is the Boundary?

Turkey data center infrastructure covers USD 419.12 million of 2025 spend on the physical plant that houses, powers and cools IT equipment in Turkish data centers.

Included

Electrical infrastructure (utility connection inside the fence, medium-voltage switchgear, transformers, uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems, batteries, generators, busways and power distribution units); mechanical and cooling infrastructure (chillers, computer room air handlers, in-row and rear-door units, containment, pumps and piping, liquid-cooling distribution); civil, structural and architectural works (foundations, seismic isolation, frames, envelopes, raised floors, fire detection and suppression, physical security); and racks, cabling and physical network (cabinets, containment trays, structured copper and fibre). Both new halls and upgrades of operating halls are counted.

Excluded

Servers, storage and switches (part of the Turkey Data Center Market IT line and the Turkey Data Center Storage Market), land, electricity, transmission grid reinforcement by TEİAŞ (Turkish Electricity Transmission Corporation), colocation and cloud revenue, and facility management. Software that monitors the plant is covered in the Turkey Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM) Market, which values that software layer separately at a much smaller size.

How the segments fit together

Every year, infrastructure type, project type, data center type, tier and region each sum to the same total: USD 419.12 million in 2025 and USD 1.74 billion in 2035.

Why Do Turkey Data Center Infrastructure Estimates Differ So Much?

DC Market Insights puts the Turkey Data Center Infrastructure Market at USD 679.28 million in 2026, and broader figures for the same name usually add IT hardware worth more than twice the facility layer.

The earlier DC Market Insights edition counted servers, storage and networking equipment as infrastructure, which more than doubled its total. That IT line alone is worth USD 958.75 million in 2025 in the parent model, so adding it more than triples the figure. Other broad definitions also add land purchase, electricity bills, grid reinforcement and colocation rent, which are operating or real-estate costs rather than infrastructure equipment. DC Market Insights keeps them out so that the figure can be checked against a buyer’s capital budget.

Element	Included	Why	2025 value
Electrical, cooling, civil works	Yes	Facility capital spend	USD 394.50 million
Racks, cabling, physical network	Yes	Installed with the hall	USD 24.62 million
Servers, storage, switches	No	IT equipment, in the parent IT line	USD 958.75 million (parent)
DCIM software	No	Separate software market	Separate report
Land, electricity, grid works, colocation rent	No	Real estate and operating costs	Not modelled

The out-of-scope terms are IT hardware, servers, storage, land, electricity, grid reinforcement and colocation rent. In-scope buyers include hyperscale cloud providers, colocation operators, telecom carriers, banks and public agencies, and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that build or upgrade their own server rooms.

What Drives Data Center Infrastructure Spending in Turkey?

Three Turkey-specific forces drive Turkey data center infrastructure spend from USD 419.12 million in 2025 to USD 1.34 billion in 2030: a 1 GW national target, data residency rules and Ankara’s hyperscale campuses.

The 1 GW by 2030 Target and the HIT-30 Data Center Call

Turkey had about 250 MW of data center infrastructure in November 2025, according to Minister of Industry and Technology Mehmet Fatih Kacır, and the AI Vision and Action Plan 2026-2030 sets a target of at least 1 GW by 2030 (Invest in Türkiye Office, June 2026). According to the Ministry of Industry and Technology, the HIT-30 call of October 2025 backs data centers of at least 30 MW of IT load, at least 50% compatible with AI hardware and with a PUE of 1.4 or lower, from a USD 1.5 billion budget with tax incentives of up to 50%. DC Market Insights assumes 400 MW of new IT load from 2026 to 2030 rather than the 660 MW the target implies, which still adds USD 3.61 billion of new-build facility content over the five years.

Data Residency Rules for Banks and Public Data

According to the Official Gazette of 6 July 2019, Presidential Circular 2019/12 requires critical public data to be stored inside Turkey and bars public data from foreign cloud storage. According to the Official Gazette of 15 March 2020, the banking information systems regulation of the Banking Regulation and Supervision Agency (BDDK) requires banks to keep their primary and secondary systems in Turkey. These rules keep 31.0% of 2025 spend, USD 129.93 million, in enterprise data centers run by banks, insurers and agencies, and they make Tier III and Tier IV backup sites a regulatory need rather than a choice.

Ankara’s Hyperscale and Sovereign Campuses

According to the Invest in Türkiye Office (November 2025), Turkcell and Google Cloud will invest USD 3 billion in Türkiye’s first hyperscale cloud region, and Turkcell lifted its Ankara data center to 54 MW of active capacity with a fifth module, according to Turkcell’s second-quarter 2026 results. Khazna Data Centers plans an AI-ready facility of up to 100 MW in Ankara’s Başkent Organised Industrial Zone (OSB), according to the Khazna Ankara announcement (May 2025). These projects lift hyperscale and cloud data centers from 25.0% to 45.0% of spend by 2035, a growth rate of 22.28% a year.

Which Trends Are Changing How Turkish Data Centers Are Built?

Two trends reshape the Turkey data center infrastructure bill of materials: seismic design in every new hall and higher power density that lifts cooling content per MW by about 47% between 2025 and 2035.

Seismic Isolation After the February 2023 Earthquakes

According to the Official Gazette of 18 March 2018, the Turkish Building Earthquake Code (TBDY 2018) sets design loads for every new building, and the February 2023 Kahramanmaraş earthquakes made seismic risk a board-level question for data center owners. DAMAC Digital (the data center unit of DAMAC Group) and Vodafone Türkiye built their 4 MW Izmir facility on seismic isolators, with a USD 100 million first phase, according to DAMAC Digital (September 2026). DC Market Insights estimates that seismic isolation, bracing and anchoring add about 6% to civil and structural content per MW in Turkey, part of the USD 149.91 million civil line in 2025.

AI-Ready Halls and the Shift to Chilled Water and Liquid Loops

The HIT-30 requirement that at least half of a project’s capacity be compatible with AI hardware is moving Turkish designs from direct-expansion units to chilled-water plant with liquid-cooling distribution, the equipment side of which is sized in the Turkey Data Center Cooling Market. DC Market Insights models mechanical and cooling infrastructure, 20.2% of 2025 Turkey data center infrastructure spend, growing the fastest of any infrastructure type at 18.15% a year.

Edge Sites for Cloud Latency in Istanbul

Amazon Web Services (AWS) announced general availability of an AWS Local Zone in Istanbul in May 2026 (Source: AWS), served from the Frankfurt region, and Equinix runs its Istanbul 2 (IL2) site in Dudullu OSB with N+1 UPS and more than 30 hours of generator runtime at full load, according to the Equinix IL2 facility page. Edge data centers take USD 25.15 million, or 6.0%, of 2025 Turkey data center infrastructure spend (DC Market Insights estimate).

What Holds Back Data Center Infrastructure Projects in Turkey? Restraints and Barriers

Grid connection limits and rising power prices are the two restraints on Turkey data center infrastructure that could cut 2035 spend by up to USD 455.05 million, the gap between the base case and the low case.

Grid Connection Queues at Transmission Level

Large campuses need transmission-level connections, and new transmission capacity has been scarce for months at a time in 2025 and 2026. DC Market Insights’ low case assumes 30% fewer completions from 2027, which leaves 2035 spend at USD 1.28 billion instead of USD 1.74 billion and the installed base at about 1,000 MW instead of 1,250 MW.

Electricity Tariffs and Currency Risk

According to the Energy Market Regulatory Authority (EPDK), the medium-voltage industrial electricity tariff rose by 5.8% from 4 April 2026, after a 10% rise in April 2025. Since most switchgear, UPS systems and chillers are priced in euros or US dollars while operators earn part of their revenue in Turkish lira, currency swings can delay orders; DC Market Insights estimates that about 70% of 2025 equipment value is imported or priced in foreign currency.

Where Are the Biggest Opportunities for Infrastructure Suppliers in Turkey?

The two largest opportunities in Turkey data center infrastructure are Ankara campus fit-outs, worth USD 433.96 million in the Başkent OSB and Temelli hub by 2035, and upgrades of older halls, worth USD 678.00 million by 2035.

Fit-Out of Ankara’s Başkent OSB and Temelli Campuses

The Ankara Başkent OSB and Temelli hub grows from USD 56.58 million in 2025 at 22.60% a year, the fastest of the 12 hubs, as the Khazna, Trendyol-Castle and Türk Telekom campuses move from foundations to fit-out. Medium-voltage substations, chillers and seismic structures are the first packages to tender.

Upgrades of Bank and Public-Sector Halls

Upgrade and retrofit spend grows 16.71% a year, faster than new builds at 14.49%, because older enterprise rooms must reach Tier III resilience, lower PUE and current earthquake design. Suppliers with local service teams and UPS production, such as Legrand’s Inform UPS factory in Turkey (opened in January 2020, Source: Legrand), are best placed for these projects.

How Much Does Data Center Infrastructure Cost per MW in Turkey?

For Turkey data center infrastructure, DC Market Insights puts facility content at USD 8.60 million per MW of IT load in 2025, rising to USD 9.87 million per MW in 2035, plus USD 0.55 million per MW for racks and cabling.

Cost item	2020	2025	2030	2035
Facility content per new MW (USD million)	7.80	8.60	9.24	9.87
Racks and cabling per new MW (USD million)	0.50	0.55	0.65	0.75
Upgrade spend per installed MW-year (USD million)	0.36	0.42	0.48	0.54
Racks and cabling refresh per installed MW-year (USD thousand)	25	25	25	25

Public anchors back these values. Trendyol and Castle Investments put the total development cost of the 48 MW Ankara Data Hub at about USD 500 million, about USD 10.42 million per MW including land and shell, according to the Ankara Data Hub announcement (Invest in Türkiye Office, June 2025). According to DAMAC Digital, the Izmir site it built with Vodafone Türkiye cost USD 100 million for its first 4 MW, with a shell built for 20 MW and USD 300 million planned in total, or about USD 15 million per MW at full build. Smaller and earthquake-hardened halls cost more per MW than large Ankara campuses.

Which Rules and Standards Shape Turkish Data Center Infrastructure?

Five rules shape about USD 419.12 million of 2025 Turkey data center infrastructure spend, from data residency to earthquake design and energy efficiency.

• Presidential Circular 2019/12 on information and communication security (Official Gazette No. 30823, 6 July 2019): critical data stored in Turkey.
• BDDK regulation on banks’ information systems and electronic banking (Official Gazette No. 31069, 15 March 2020): primary and secondary bank systems in Turkey.
• Law No. 7499 amending the Personal Data Protection Law (KVKK) cross-border transfer rules (Official Gazette No. 32487, 12 March 2024; in force 1 June 2024).
• Turkish Building Earthquake Code TBDY 2018 (Official Gazette No. 30364, 18 March 2018): seismic design loads for new halls.
• HIT-30 data center call (Ministry of Industry and Technology, October 2025): minimum 30 MW of IT load, PUE of 1.4 or lower, up to 50% tax incentive.

EN 50600 and TIA-942 certifications, and Uptime tier ratings, are common in colocation contracts; Equinix IL2, for example, is certified under EN 50600 by TSI. DC Market Insights estimates that Tier III facilities take 64.0% of 2025 spend, USD 268.24 million.

Equipment suppliers compete for packages, while operators such as Turkcell, Türk Telekom and Equinix are the main buyers. Turkcell reported 54 MW of active capacity in Ankara in its second-quarter 2026 results, and Legrand produces UPS systems locally through Inform. Local engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contractors take most civil and structural packages, which keeps that USD 149.91 million line less concentrated than electrical equipment.

What Happened in Turkish Data Center Infrastructure in 2025 and 2026?

Six dated Turkey data center infrastructure events from May 2025 to September 2026 added about 202 MW of named projects to Turkey’s pipeline.

Methodology: How We Built the Turkey Data Center Infrastructure Model

DC Market Insights built the model from 16 inputs: 30 MW of new IT load in 2025 × USD 8.60 million per MW, plus 325 MW of average installed load × USD 0.42 million of upgrades, plus USD 24.62 million of racks and cabling, gives USD 419.12 million.

New IT load follows the installed base of the parent model (240 MW in 2020, 340 MW in 2025, 740 MW in 2030, 1,250 MW in 2035). Facility content per MW rises from USD 7.80 million in 2020 to USD 9.87 million in 2035; upgrade spend rises from USD 0.36 million to USD 0.54 million per installed MW-year. Splits by infrastructure type, project type, data center type, tier, 4 regions and 12 hubs are DC Market Insights estimates and sum to the total every year.

Three bound checks hold. Ceiling 1: 400 MW of new IT load in 2026-2030 is below the 660 MW implied by the 1 GW target. Ceiling 2: the market is 30.97% of the USD 1.35 billion parent market in 2025, in line with the parent’s power, cooling and construction lines. Floor: the named Trendyol-Castle and DAMAC-Vodafone budgets of USD 800 million are below the USD 5.10 billion of modelled spend in 2026-2030. Full details are in our research methodology.
