The software sector will show growth of 19% on an annualized basis.

It is also said that the cost of developing and deploying applications in Turkey will more than double in the period from 2025 to 2028. This growth is due to several factors, including the need for enterprises to modernize outdated systems, the development of the microservice architecture, the integration of AI and machine learning.^[1]
