2024 Textailor EXPO Bulgaria Textile Industry Exhibition

Market introduction

The success of Bulgaria's textile and garment industry can be attributed to several favorable factors. About 65% to 95% of Bulgarian textile manufacturers are small to medium-sized enterprises, characterized by:

- Elastic production capabilities.
- Quick responsiveness to changing customer demands.
- Swift delivery.
- Prompt response to quality improvement requests.

The average wages of employees in Bulgaria's textile and garment industry are lower than in any other European Union member state (including Romania). Labor costs are also quite low compared to Sri Lanka, Indonesia, and Russia. Costs are comparable to those in Egypt, Mexico, certain regions of Eastern China, and Ukraine.

In the competitive landscape of textile entrepreneurs, especially facing the emergence of dominant low-cost manufacturers from Asian countries, labor costs are a crucial indicator. Therefore, Bulgarian textile and garment manufacturers have a unique advantage in labor costs, allowing them to compete with counterparts in mainland China.

As an EU member, Bulgaria benefits from duty-free trade of goods with other EU member states. Moreover, the probability of products being detained at customs borders is significantly low. This enables faster deliveries to the EU export market, reducing shipping times and lowering warehousing costs.

Many of the environmental regulations implemented by the Bulgarian government are aligned with those of other EU member states. Hence, current laws are highly advantageous for Bulgarian manufacturers when trading with European buyers. These advantages may attract potential investors who prioritize stringent implementation of Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) policies to invest in Bulgaria's textile and garment industry.
