developing production base and significant regional trade exposure. The consumer market is expanding, supported by a robust retail turnover that reflects a 12.7% annual increase, indicating strong domestic demand. However, consumer confidence remains weak, presenting a headwind for sustained growth despite elevated housing market activity, which is significantly above the 2019 baseline. This suggests that while housing developments are supportive of furniture demand, the overall consumer sentiment could temper spending in the near term [1][9]. The production sector is also on an upward trajectory, with a notable increase in production turnover, reinforcing the market's capacity to meet both domestic and export demands. Exports remain stable, accounting for nearly half of production turnover, which underscores the importance of international markets for Bulgarian manufacturers. The pegged exchange rate of the Bulgarian lev to the euro provides a stable backdrop for trade, minimizing currency fluctuations that could impact competitiveness [4][5].

However, the product search trend has softened, currently at 95.2 index points, which is 35.6% below the peak observed in 2021 [11].

Despite the positive growth in production turnover, the producer price index stands at 124.7 index points, reflecting moderate pressure with a decline of 6.0 percentage points over the past six months [4].

Such a significant dependence on international markets suggests that fluctuations in global demand could impact local production and trade dynamics. On the import side, Bulgaria has seen a notable expansion in furniture imports, reaching 932.9 BGN million (around EUR 475 million), which is 159.8% above the trough observed in 2018 [7]. This growing import volume highlights an increasing reliance on foreign suppliers, particularly from China and Turkey, which account for 31.99% and 15.51% of imports, respectively [8].

The ongoing expansion suggests a favorable environment for furniture production and retail, potentially leading to increased investment in the sector. In contrast, consumer confidence remains weak at -26.1 points, reflecting a decline of 4.9 percentage points over the past six months [10]. This disparity between strong housing market activity and low consumer confidence may create a complex landscape for furniture retailers, as elevated housing activity does not necessarily translate into consumer spending.
