PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Minimal growth anticipated due to demographic and market saturation challenges
Over the forecast period, convenience retailers in Bulgaria is expected to register minimal growth, with expansion being limited by several structural and demographic factors. The ongoing population decline, particularly in rural areas, will reduce the demand for convenience retail outlets, leading to further closures in less densely populated regions.
Omnichannel strategies to drive future growth and digital transformation
The increasing digitalisation of retail is expected to shape the future of convenience stores, with an omnichannel strategy becoming a key growth driver. As e-commerce continues to gain value share, convenience retailers will need to adapt by integrating online and offline shopping experiences.
Increased investment from international and local players into convenience formats
Looking ahead, Bulgaria’s convenience retailing sector is likely to see increased investment from both international and local grocery players seeking to capitalise on the growing demand for smaller, strategically located stores. The expansion of Billa Dnes is a strong indication of this trend, highlighting the potential for well-established brands to enter the convenience segment with innovative store formats.
