Growth picks up on economic fundamentals

Retailing value sales growth in Bulgaria improved slightly in 2017, with overall results in line with the average performance over the entire review period. Growth picked up in 2017 in store-based grocery retailers and non-store retailing – especially internet retailing.

Turmoil over in modern grocery retail

In 2017, the turmoil in modern grocery retail ended. Key players like Lidl, Billa, T-market and Kaufland have pushed hard to fill the void left by the exit of Penny Market and the insolvency of Piccadilly and Carrefour.

Internet retailing is most dynamic

Internet retailing was the most dynamic in 2017. Growth was broad-based and reflected a general rush among various bricks-and-mortar operators to develop online sales.

Kaufland leads, Lidl outperforms and Technomarket loses position

The overall level of competition in retailing remains unchanged. The top 10 players expanded their combined retail value share fractionally in 2017 and continued to be dominated by grocers – Kaufland, Lidl, Billa, CBA, Fantastico, Lafka and Koop.

Future growth inhibited by negative demographics

Growth in retailing is expected to be moderate, particularly towards the end of the forecast period. Key factors inhibiting growth include the declining population of Bulgaria and shrinking working-age population and employment figures.
