The number of mobile subscribers in Turkey will exceed 100 million in 2028.

Turkey is experiencing a significant increase in the number of mobile subscribers, thanks to advancements in digitalization and technological infrastructure. According to the data obtained from the 2026 Central Government Budget Law Proposal, as of the second quarter of 2023, there are 96.5 million mobile subscribers in Turkey. This number is expected to reach 98.1 million by the end of next year with the implementation of 5G technology.

The mobile subscriber count is anticipated to make a significant leap to 99.7 million by the year 2027. Even more striking is the forecast for 2028, which predicts the mobile subscriber count will reach 101.2 million. This growth will not only enhance the technological development of the country but also increase its competitiveness in the mobile sector.

In terms of mobile broadband subscriber penetration, developments in Turkey are also promising. While an annual increase is expected, the subscriber penetration rate, which is anticipated to be 92% in 2023, is expected to rise to 94% in 2024, 95% in 2027, and 96% in 2028. These rates will enhance the level of benefit that individual users, as well as businesses, derive from mobile technologies.

Additionally, there are also goals for improving the length of fiber infrastructure in Turkey. A formal target of 750,000 kilometers of fiber infrastructure length has been set in line with these objectives. Expanding fiber infrastructure will not only improve the quality of mobile services but also make broadband internet access more widespread.

In conclusion, the increase in Turkey's mobile subscriber count is seen as a significant opportunity for the country's economy and an important step towards enhancing mobile digital services and innovation. This process, which will continue until 2028, will offer great advantages to both individual users and businesses.
