Driven by the continuous expansion of e-commerce, Türkiye’s postal and delivery sector recorded a 30 percent year-on-year revenue increase, reaching 90.72 billion liras in the second half of 2025.

According to the Postal Sector Report by the Information and Communication Technologies Authority (BTK), postal services have entered a period of rapid and comprehensive structural change.

Parcel and cargo shipments exceeded 767 million items, bringing in approximately 64.35 billion liras.

The sector supported around 115,000 jobs by the end of the second half of 2025. The state-run national operator, PTT, remains the largest employer with a 34 percent share of the total workforce. Among private operators, Yurtiçi Kargo followed with a 14 percent employment share, while Aras Kargo accounted for 11 percent.
