ANALYZING TÜRKİYE'S FINTECH INVESTMENT FUTURE WITH ARIMA APPROACH

Abstract

Türkiye's fintech sector has undergone an interesting journey. Initially characterised by rapid growth and innovation, the sector has undergone a significant consolidation process in the following years. When analysing the fintech investment ecosystem in Türkiye between 2016 and 2024, it has shown remarkable flexibility and growth potential, reaching an impressive figure of $194 million by 2024, up from a modest figure of $12 million in 2016. This represents an extraordinary increase of 1.52 percent in an eight-year. Therefore, it can be assumed that the fintech ecosystem in Türkiye has moved from the growth phase to the maturity phase, the market has started to consolidate, and fewer but larger players have emerged. The aim of this paper is to analyse the future of fintech investments and, for this purpose, to identify the growth potential of the fintech sector. For this objective, the fintech data reported for the years between 2016 and 2024 in Türkiye has been estimated both before 2024 and between 2025 and 2028 using the ARIMA model. The analysis of the obtained regression estimation shows that the coefficients of AR(1) and MA(1) are negative and statistically insignificant. However, although this model provides limited benefit in predicting the future values of the fintech variable, it can be said that the overall performance of the model can be considered applicable and valid because the model is significant as a whole and there is no autocorrelation problem. As a result, fintech investment is expected to reach a new peak of $212.1 million in 2025 and maintain a strong momentum of $167.1 million in 2026. Although forecasts point to a potential market correction in 2027, this is a natural consolidation phase after years of growth, and growth of $93.1 million is expected in 2028.
