Abstract: Insurance companies in Bulgaria develop their business in a market economy. Therefore, insurers are constantly striving to achieve competitive advantage. As a result of the competitive struggle between companies in the insurance market, an appropriate range of products is offered at the best possible conditions and consumer prices, and the quality and efficiency of the insurance protection is increased. The present article determines the shape and strength of competition in the general insurance market in Bulgaria for the period 2008-2012. It was found that only in mass contracting of insurances, the insurance companies operate in highly competitive environments. The market of less popular insurances is characterized by an oligopolistic structure. In the offering of some of them, there is even monopoly.
