A chapter in Postal Strategies, 2023, pp 169-182 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Two interesting dynamics have emerged over the past decade when assessing postal markets. First, many markets are undergoing a radical shift from a letter-centricity to parcel-centricity. Second, the fragmentation of the postal supply chain leads to alternative business models in the postal market. This chapter acquaints the reader with the dynamics of the Turkish postal market, where e-commerce is increasingly altering the market landscape. After providing the legal framework, this chapter gives an overview of the Turkish postal market, including an assessment of major demand trends, alternative delivery methods, and new market segments. The chapter highlights regulatory challenges and possible tools, and then concludes.
