Competitive Analysis of the Supermarket Industry in Bulgaria
Who dominates Bulgaria's grocery retail conversation in the media

This report focuses on the media coverage of the supermarket industry in Bulgaria during the first half of 2023. The competitive landscape of grocery chains is led by Lidl, Kaufland, Billa and Fantastico, which together account for 90% of the entire conversation on the topic.
Hypermarket chains such as T Market, Metro and Promarket are notably less visible in the media, leaving a clear gap between the top tier and the challengers - useful context for any brand planning competitive PR or category-level positioning.
Grocery retail is one of the most competitive consumer categories in Bulgaria, and the media conversation around it shapes how shoppers perceive value, quality and trust. Knowing which chains set that narrative - and which are absent from it - is the starting point for any competitive communications plan in the sector.
