Kişisel Depolama İşletmecileri Derneği

Kişisel Depolama İşletmecileri Derneği (KDİD), the Self Storage Operators Association of Türkiye, is the association established to represent the sector and the businesses in Türkiye that provide personal storage, that is, household goods storage, known internationally as self storage. The Association was founded in 2025 by 15 businesses and is based in Istanbul.

Self storage has long existed in Europe, where it is a mature real estate service class with its own associations, common standards, annual sector reports and institutional investor interest. In Türkiye, although the sector is growing quickly, there is not yet a defined service category, a common service standard or comprehensive sector data.

KDİD was founded to fill exactly this gap. Our aim is to define self storage as a service class with its own rules, distinct from traditional removals and warehousing; to establish a common service and safety standard among our members; and to help consumers buy this service in an informed way.

Our Association is a non-profit organisation. It derives its income from membership dues, publications and events, and carries out all of its activities within the framework of Law No. 5253 on Associations and the Association's Statute.
