Summary/Abstract: The demand for freight transport services remains a consistently relevant topic, given the dynamic development of the transport market. This study aims to analyze the parameters of this demand through indicators such as the volume of transported goods and the amount of work performed by various transport modes. On this basis, it seeks to identify current issues that accompany market processes in Bulgaria. The analysis revealed three major weaknesses characteristic of Bulgaria’s transport system: the exclusion of the country from the routing of rail corridors from China to Europe under the „Belt and Road” initiative; the condition of port infrastructure, particularly with respect to container terminals; and the dominance of road transport, given its significant impact on the environment.
