**Greek Imports Surge as Sulphur Demand Reaches Pre-Winter Peak**
**Greece’s Sulphur Import Market Sees Significant Increase Amid Seasonal Demand**
• Greek imports of HS code 2503 sulphur increased by 12.5% in the past month compared to the same period last year.
• The rise in demand is attributed to a pre-winter surge in industrial activity, particularly in the manufacturing sector.
• Global sulphur prices have remained relatively stable at around $200 per tonne.
Greece’s sulphur import market has shown significant growth as the country prepares for the winter season. A 12.5% increase in imports over the past month suggests a boost in demand from industries such as steel production and power generation, which rely heavily on sulphur for their operations. With global prices remaining stable, Greek businesses are likely to continue importing sulphur at current levels to meet their seasonal needs.
