This was announced by Janet Naydenova from the Bulgarian E-commerce Association at a forum for responsible production and trade in Sofia. Naydenova pointed out for comparison that in the Scandinavian countries and Great Britain, online buyers account for 80-90% of internet users, which means that this niche in Bulgaria has great potential for development.

Regarding the location of the sellers, 94.4% are online stores located in Bulgaria, 32% - in the EU, 18% - outside the EU, in 1.5% of purchases the seller's country of origin is unknown.
