Turkey's advantageous geographical location, which provides easy access to Eastern Europe, Central Asia, the Middle East and North Africa, allows the country to function as a hub for over USD 2 trillion worth of freight carried in the region. Turkey's current logistics industry size is estimated to be USD 80-100 billion and is forecast to reach USD 108-140 billion by 2017. Turkey is also building logistics centers/villages that will serve to lower the costs of transportation by offering various different modes of transportation within these centers/villages.
