This trend is expected to continue, with industry players focusing on developing natural and non-GMO options to cater to this growing demand. Additionally, there is a growing trend of incorporating global flavors and ingredients into traditional Turkish dishes, creating opportunities for innovative product offerings. These trends have significant implications for industry stakeholders, as they must adapt to changing consumer preferences and invest in research and development to stay competitive in the market.

    Local special circumstances:
