BMI View: Turkish IT market will continue to being a regional outperformer during 2013-2017, notwithstanding the dip in growth rates during 2013 and 2014. The inherent demographic profile advantage, coupled with sustained growth and consistent government push towards reforms, lends a bullish, long-term future for the IT sector in the country.

- Computer hardware: US$6.4bn in 2013 to US$6.9bn in 2014,+8% in US dollar terms. Reduction in growth rate compared to the previous year due to faltering domestic economic activity and a neighbourhood beset by economic and political turbulence. Impact of depreciation in the Turkish Lira is also factored. The dip notwithstanding, Turkey will outperform its peer economies.
- Software: US$1.1bn in 2013 to US$1.2bn in 2014, +13% in US dollar terms. While this is a reduction in growth rate as compared to the previous year, it is still a healthy rate. The reduction in growth rate is a characteristic of the market, which is in the phase of arriving at an equilibrium in terms of long-term sustainable growth.
- Services and cloud computing: US$1.53bn in 2013 to US$1.71bn in 2014, +12.7% in US dollar terms for services, and US$539mn in 2013 to US$786mn in 2014, +46% in US dollar terms for cloud computing. Growing integration with the EU will edge Turkish companies towards increasingly embracing IT services. Refinement and maturity in cloud computing offerings by local and global vendors will make them attractive for corporates in general and SMEs in particular. Forecast in US dollar terms upwardly revised due to analyst modification and a 12% CAGR is projected for the five-year forecast period.
