Bulgaria: Market for Evaporated And Condensed Milk 2025
Bulgaria’s evaporated and condensed milk sector saw major shifts in 2024. Exports to Greece surged, far outpacing shipments to other countries, while domestic production and market value dropped sharply. Imports also rebounded after years of decline, with key suppliers dominating the trade.
Bulgaria exported significantly more evaporated and condensed milk to Greece than to any other destination. Shipments to Greece exceeded those to Romania, the second-largest market, by over ten times. Greece also held the largest share of Bulgaria’s total exports in this category.
Imports into Bulgaria reached X tons in 2024, reversing a three-year downward trend. Poland, Greece, and Germany supplied the bulk of these imports, together accounting for a combined X% of the total. The average import price, however, fell to $X per ton, marking a X% decrease from 2023. Domestic production rose to $X in value, though overall output remained lower than in previous years. The Bulgarian market itself shrank dramatically, dropping by 78.2% to just $1.8M. This decline followed a peak in consumption back in 2014, when the market was worth $24M. Among import partners, France paid the highest average price for Bulgarian evaporated and condensed milk at $X per ton in 2024.
The data highlights Greece’s dominance as Bulgaria’s top export market for evaporated and condensed milk. Meanwhile, the domestic sector faces challenges, with production struggling and market value plummeting. The rebound in imports suggests shifting trade dynamics, though lower prices indicate a softer demand environment.
