With warehousing, 215 thousand people can be employed, a turnover of 20.8 billion dollars and an economic added value of 7.6 billion dollars can be generated.<\/p><\/div>\n\n

Turkey needs jobs and jobs that will benefit Turkey, and warehousing can help meet these two needs in a maximum of 5 years.<\/p><\/div>\n\n

While there should be at least 40 million m2 of storage space in Turkey today, unfortunately, the total storage space for Turkey can be estimated at 20-25 million m2 , of which 12 million m2 (all in Istanbul and Kocaeli) can be measured.\nIn the next 5 years, 25 million m2 of additional storage space will be needed. <\/p><\/div>\n\n

If the 25 million m2 of warehousing space that will be needed in the next 5 years is owned by logistics companies (3PLs) in Turkey, in addition to the employment of 215,000 people (1), 72% of whom are blue-collar warehousemen, 17% white-collar office workers, and 11% managers, a turnover of 20.8 billion dollars (2) can be achieved each year and 7.6 billion dollars of economic added value (3) can be generated each year.\nIn addition to these direct gains from the warehousing service or “warehousing” business line by 3PLs, the taxes to be collected by the state, for the construction of 25 million m2 of warehousing area, the State should give the lands belonging to the Treasury to 3PLs “free of charge” or lease them “for a long time” at a “very low” price on condition that they build warehouses (temperature controlled, normal, open storage), but the State should definitely control these 3PL companies (income, profit, efficiency, business volume) regularly.\nThe construction of warehouses can generate billions of dollars of turnover and economic added value, including other construction-centered businesses, the employment of tens of thousands of people in construction and construction-related sectors, the spending of these employees in the economy, tax revenues, and many other direct and indirect financial gains. <\/p><\/div>\n\n

On the other hand, for healthy sustainable growth and welfare increase, Turkey should receive at least 15-20 billion dollars (5) of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI & FDI) every year.\nAt least half of this FDI should be in the “goods”, i.e. “production, wholesale, retail” sector, which must be stored (6).\nFor this amount of FDI each year, 500-550 thousand m2 (7) of storage space is required.\nBut is there a sufficient number of storage areas with the appropriate qualifications for this FDI investment?\nUnfortunately, NO.\nIf there is not enough qualified storage space in sufficient number and size, FDI will not come to Turkey because there is not enough storage space for production and sales.\nWith 40 Million M2 of storage space, FDI and FDI related income can increase. <\/p><\/div>\n\n

Remember.\nE-commerce is developing and growing faster than expected. E-commerce may need (use) 3 times more storage space than traditional retail. For every 30 Billion TL of e-commerce sales, at least 120,000 m2 of storage space may be required.\nAccordingly, there should be approximately 2.2-2.4 million m2 of e-commerce storage space in Turkey for e-commerce products worth approximately 550-600 billion TL stored and distributed.\nIn addition, returns reveal the need for more storage space in e-commerce.\nIs there this much storage space for e-commerce?\nIt is natural that there is none for e-commerce while there is none for normal trade.\n(8) <\/p><\/div>\n\n
