Grocery retail in Turkey in numbers (2026)
This page brings together store counts, net sales, margins and food waste figures for the three grocery chains listed on Borsa Istanbul (BİM, ŞOK and Migros), alongside Ipsos household panel data. Every figure was read from the company's own activity report or investor presentation, or from Ipsos's own release. Each row shows the period, the basis (TMS 29, nominal, count or ratio), the source document and the date it was last checked. TMS 29 is Turkey's version of IAS 29, the inflation-accounting standard listed companies have applied since the end of 2023. Nothing is compiled from news sites.
