Development of the Bulgarian Transport Market after the Country's Accession to the European Union

Summary/Abstract: Transport plays a key role in the economic, social and societal development of the country, as it is a necessary condition for the normal functioning of all economic sectors. The national transport market is a sphere of demand and supply of transport services and related capacities for the purpose of spatial movement of passengers and goods. This report analyzes the dynamics of demand for freight and passenger transport in various modes of transport after the country's accession to the European Union. Trends in the quantities of transported goods and the transport work performed are tracked and analyzed. The analyzed period (2007 - 2024) covers the time after the country's accession to the European Union and ends in a period of global geopolitical instability after the global health crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The eighteen-year period examined allows us to track the main trends in the development of the national transport market and, on this basis, to make recommendations for its sustainable future development.
