This is shown by a study by the Institute of Market Economy for the Bulgarian soft drinks Association.

In addition, sales of soft drinks in the country generate an additional nearly BGN 260 million in value added tax paid by end users. The purpose of the study is to provide an up-to-date perspective on the key indicators of the state and development of the sector by examining the overall impact of the companies' activities on the related industries and the country's economy.
