Turkey Road Freight Transport Volume 2007–2023 Trends

This Statista dataset provides historical tracking of Turkey's road freight transport volumes across a 16-year span (2007–2023), offering supply chain professionals a detailed view of one of the Eastern Mediterranean's most critical transport corridors. Turkey's road network serves as a strategic bridge between Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, making freight volume trends a key indicator of regional economic health and trade flows. The long-term data series allows analysts to identify cyclical patterns, recovery trajectories following economic disruptions, and shifting demand dynamics that inform capacity planning and routing decisions.

For supply chain leaders, understanding Turkey's road freight patterns is essential for several reasons: the country represents a major transshipment hub, domestic consumption patterns reflect broader Middle Eastern and Eastern European demand, and infrastructure utilization directly impacts transit times and costs for goods moving between continents. Historical volume data helps logistics planners forecast bottlenecks, benchmark carrier utilization rates, and identify optimal windows for capacity investment or divestment decisions. The 2007–2023 timeline captures multiple significant market events—the global financial crisis, the post-2015 geopolitical shifts in the region, pandemic-driven logistics disruptions, and the recovery phase—making this dataset particularly valuable for scenario planning and risk modeling.

Supply chain teams leveraging this data can build more resilient transportation strategies tailored to Turkish market dynamics and regional trade corridor performance.
