Over the course of 2022, the recovery of Bulgaria’s consumer foodservice industry from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic continued to develop, albeit at a slower pace than during 2021. While positive growth was recorded in the number of outlets for the first time since 2019, there is still a long way to go before this metric returns to pre-pandemic levels and the total number of outlets is expected to remain below 2019 levels until the end of the forecast period.
