Due to the inadequacy of the current Bursa market’s location in the city center to respond effectively to the growing city and the need to increase its capacity, the new market is being positioned along the newly constructed Izmir ring road, allowing it to serve Bursa and surrounding provinces more efficiently.

Marketplaces, where humans have been trading in open spaces since the beginning of production, have now evolved into hygienic environments within closed spaces. Bursa, following the European norms of the last century, is set to have a market hall meeting European standards.

With a total area of 200,000 square meters, the new market will have a total closed area of 44,400 square meters, divided into 22,000 square meters for shopping, 20,000 square meters for commission merchant shops, and 2,400 square meters for management, restaurants, offices, and a hotel. Additionally, there will be 158,600 square meters of open space for unloading trucks, crate storage, parking, entrances, roads, and green areas.

By bringing producers, wholesalers, and retailers together in a shared indoor space, the aim is to provide consumers with access to quality and economical products. The convergence of supply and demand in the same space allows for a more transparent market, optimizing the product’s market value.

In recent years, efforts by hyper and supermarkets to establish a monopoly have prompted municipalities to enhance the comprehensive nature of large markets for consumer protection and access to hygienic and economical products. It is essential for large cities to take responsibility for meeting the basic food needs of the population by ensuring the availability of economically and healthily controlled products.

The existing market currently handles an average of 35 to 50 tons of goods per day with 60 commission merchant shops. The new market building is designed to accommodate a capacity of 150 commission merchant shops.
