Key Market Indicators
Bulgarian Wastewater Generation is projected to decline to approximately 318 million cubic meters by 2028, down from around 372 million cubic meters in 2023. This represents an annual decrease of 2.5%. Historical data since 1995 shows that the country's wastewater supply has been shrinking by an average of 2.6% per year. In contrast, the revenue generated by Bulgarian water utilities is on an upward trajectory. By 2028, the sector's revenue is expected to reach nearly €468 million, up from about €414 million in 2023. This growth translates to an annual increase of 2%. Since 2010, the market has seen a steadier rise, with revenues increasing by an average of 3.6% per year. These contrasting trends highlight the complex dynamics within Bulgaria's water management sector, where declining wastewater generation coexists with growing financial returns for utility services.
