As packaged foods and beverages are consumed, especially in the alcohol and soft drink sectors, the demand for glass containers rises. Bulgarian producers increasingly opt for glass, citing its sustainability and superior product preservation qualities. Glass stands out as a prime choice for companies looking to shrink their carbon footprint and resonate with eco-conscious consumers.

  • Bulgaria, classified as an upper-middle-income market, boasts a thriving agribusiness and food sector that is pivotal in driving economic growth. The Food and Beverage Industry is a prominent and lucrative sector within Bulgaria's industrial landscape.
  • Historically, the Bulgarian Food and Beverage Industry (BFBI) has leaned towards export orientation. As reported by Eurostat in March 2024, Bulgaria witnessed a EUR 159.8 million (USD 168.76 million) surge in the turnover of retail sales for food and beverages in specialized stores, marking a 15.31% increase from the prior year. Since container glass packaging, including bottles and jars for food, is favoured in the industry due to its notable advantages, the rise in sales of food and beverage would bolster the market demand.
  • Driven by a global surge in bottled beverage consumption, Bulgaria's container glass industry is witnessing robust growth. Glass containers are favored for preserving product originality during storage. Responding to this heightened demand, Bulgaria's imports of glass and glassware reached USD 239.57 million in 2023, a notable increase from USD 193 million in 2021, as the United Nations COMTRADE database on international trade reported.
  • Bulgaria's labour market faces several structural challenges, notably a rapidly shrinking working-age population. The Bulgarian labor market faced an immediate and severe blow from the dual shocks of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Ukraine-Russia conflict. While numerous sectors have nearly bounced back, the long-term repercussions of these crises remain uncertain.
  • Bulgaria is actively adopting sustainable practices across its ecosystem. In 2023, Bulgaria implemented a new packaging law impacting manufacturers, online sellers, and distributors. This law, integrated into the Waste Law, mandates that manufacturers, importers, and dealers are accountable for packaging waste disposal. Companies are required to register and pay a fee for this disposal. These changes are expected to boost the demand for sustainable and reusable container glass, further mitigating environmental impact and promoting responsible packaging waste management.
