Create a free account or sign in to access and download this report.
As demand for mobile data accelerates, spectrum policy will play a decisive role in determining whether Türkiye can keep pace with international connectivity standards or fall behind.
This report presents an overview of spectrum pricing in Türkiye and its implications for the development of next-generation mobile networks.
Forecasts from GSMA Intelligence indicate that monthly mobile data usage per connection in Türkiye is expected to rise from 17 GB in 2024 to nearly 56 GB by 2030. This rapid growth requires substantial network investment, particularly in 5G infrastructure. However, the financial context for mobile operators has become increasingly challenging. Monthly ARPU has declined steadily, falling from $9.0 in 2016 to $6.6 in 2024, due to inflation, currency devaluation and intense competitive pressure.
Within this environment, the cost and structure of spectrum access have emerged as key policy levers with significant implications for both investment and affordability.
