Customer preferences: Turkish customers have shown a greater interest in software products that are tailored to their specific needs and requirements. This has led to the emergence of niche software products that cater to specific industries and sectors, such as healthcare, finance, and manufacturing. Additionally, customers in Turkey have become more tech-savvy and are increasingly using software products to improve their productivity and efficiency.

Trends in the market: One of the key trends in the software market in Turkey is the increasing adoption of cloud-based software solutions.

Another trend in the market is the growing popularity of mobile software applications, which are becoming increasingly important as more and more customers use mobile devices to access the internet.

Local special circumstances: The Turkish software market is unique in that it is heavily influenced by the country's culture and history. For example, the Turkish language is spoken by over 80 million people worldwide, making it one of the most widely spoken languages in the world. This has led to the development of software products that are specifically designed for Turkish speakers, including language learning software, translation software, and other language-related products. Additionally, the country's rich history and culture have contributed to the development of software products that are focused on Turkish history, art, and literature.

Underlying macroeconomic factors: The growth of the software market in Turkey is also being driven by a number of underlying macroeconomic factors, including the country's young and growing population, its rapidly expanding middle class, and its strategic location at the crossroads of Europe and Asia. Additionally, the Turkish government has been actively working to promote the development of the country's technology sector, providing tax incentives and other forms of support to local software companies.
