Bulgaria Forecourt Market Size and Forecast by Segment (Service Station, Car Wash, and Convenience and Foodservice) and Fuel Retailer Profiles, 2021-2026

Powered by

All the vital news, analysis, and commentary curated by our industry experts.

The Bulgaria forecourt market size was valued at BGN6.06 billion ($3 billion) in 2021 and is expected to achieve a CAGR of more than 4% during 2022-2026. The forecourt has also seen growth in convenience retail and foodservice sales in 2021, and this is something that is becoming increasingly important for fuel companies. Investment in forecourt facilities and partnerships with major food brands are the key factors behind the uplift in convenience and foodservice sales.

With electric vehicles (EVs) becoming more popular, EV chargers are also expected to have a growing presence in Bulgarian forecourts. Furthermore, EV charging will change the gasoline forecourt industry with people having to spend more time at forecourts while cars are charging. More emphasis will need to be placed on turning stations into locations for people to spend time and money.

The Bulgaria forecourt market research report provides commercial (B2B) forecourt sales which include fuel sales, car wash sales, convenience sales, and foodservice sales for 2017-2021 and forecasts to 2026.

Bulgaria Forecourt Market Segmentation by Categories

The key categories in the Bulgaria forecourt market are fuel, convenience retail, and foodservice. The fuel category had the highest market share in the Spanish forecourt market in 2021.

Fuel: Fuel volumes in Bulgaria fell in 2020 due to COVID-19. However, volumes recovered in 2021 due to the increase in the number of vehicles as well as levels of transportation. LUKOIL was the largest fuel retailer in Bulgaria. The company achieved this by offering its fuel at competitive prices and also by equipping its service stations with other forecourt facilities such as car washes, stores, and foodservice.

Convenience and Foodservice: Convenience sales have seen constant growth since 2015. Convenience sales add value to every visit to a fuel station. Along with convenience, foodservice is also a growing aspect of fuel stations with more stations offering hot food and beverages. This increase in foodservice value is due to partnerships with chain outlets and also fuel retailers investing in their own brands such as Petrol Bulgaria’s Perfekt.

GlobalData Analytics and visualisation solutions has contributed positively when preparing management presentations and strategic papers.”

Business Intelligence & Marketing Manager, SAL Heavy Lift

“COVID-19 has caused significant interference to our business and the COVID-19 intelligence from GlobalData has helped us reach better decisions around strategy. These two highlights have helped enormously to understand the projections into the future concerning our business units, we also utilise the project database to source new projects for Liebherr-Werk to use as an additional source to pitch for new business.”

Market Analyst & Management, Liebherr-Werk

Your daily news has saved me a lot of time and keeps me up-to-date with what is happening in the market, I like that you almost always have a link to the source origin. We also use your market data in our Strategic Business Process to support our business decisions. By having everything in one place on the Intelligence Center it has saved me a lot of time versus looking on different sources, the alert function also helps with this.

Head of Key Accounts, Saab AB

Having used several other market research companies, I find that GlobalData manages to provide that ‘difficult-to-get’ market data that others can’t, as well as very diverse and complete consumer surveys.

Marketing Intelligence Manager, Portugal Foods

Our experience with GlobalData has been very good, from the platform itself to the people. I find that the analysts and the account team have a high level of customer focus and responsiveness and therefore I can always rely on. The platform is more holistic than other providers. It is convenient and almost like a one stop shop. The pricing suite is highly competitive and value for our organisation.

I like reports that inform new segments such as the analysis on generation Z, millennials, the impact of COVID 19 to our banking customers and their new channel habits. Secondly the specialist insight on affluent sector significantly increases our understanding about this group of customers. The combination of those give us depth and breadth of the evolving market.

I’m in the business of answering and helping people make decisions so with the intelligence center I can do that, effectively and efficiently. I can share quickly key insights that answer and satisfy our country stakeholders by giving them many quality studies and primary research about competitive landscape beyond the outlook of our bank. It helps me be seen as an advisory partner and that makes a big difference. A big benefit of our subscription is that no one holds the whole data and because it allows so many people, so many different parts of our organisation have access, it enables all teams to have the same level of knowledge and decision support.

Head of Customer Insight and Research, Standard Chartered

“I know that I can always rely on Globaldata’s work when I’m searching for the right consumer and market insights. I use Globaldata insights to understand the changing market & consumer landscape and help create better taste & wellbeing solutions for our customers in food, beverage and healthcare industries.

Globaldata has the right data and the reports are of very high quality compared to your competitors. Globaldata not only has overall market sizes & consumer insights on food & beverages but also provides insights at the ingredient & flavour level. That is key for B2B companies like Givaudan. This way we understand our customers’ business and also gain insight to our unique industry”

Head of Consumer Sensory Insights, Givaudan

GlobalData provides a great range of information and reports on various sectors that is highly relevant, timely, easy to access and utilise.  The reports and data dashboards help engagement with clients; they provide valuable industry and market insights that can enrich client conversations and can help in the shaping of value propositions. Moreover, using GlobalData products has helped increase my knowledge of the finance sector, the players within it, and the general threats and opportunities.

I find the consumer surveys that are carried out to be extremely beneficial and not something I have seen anywhere else. They provided an insightful view of why and which consumers take (or don’t) particular financial products. This can help shape conversations with clients to ensure they make the right strategic decisions for their business.

One of the challenges I have found is that data in the payments space is often piecemeal. With GD all of the data I need is in one place, but it also comes with additional market reports that provide useful extra context and information. Having the ability to set-up alerts on relevant movements in the industry, be it competitors or customers, and have them emailed directly to me, ensures I get early sight of industry activity and don’t have to search for news.
