Lead Ores Imports Surge in Greece Amid Global Supply Shifts
Greece Sees Boost in Lead Ore Imports as Domestic Demand Increases
• Greek lead ore imports rose by 15% in May compared to the same month last year.
• The country’s lead ore import value reached €35 million, driven primarily by higher demand from domestic smelters.
• Greece imported 20,000 tonnes of lead ores and concentrates during the month, with the majority originating from Peru.
Greece’s lead ore imports are being driven by increasing domestic demand for refined lead, which is used in various industries including automotive manufacturing. The country’s industrial production has been growing steadily, supporting higher consumption of raw materials like lead ores. As a result, Greek importers have been seeking alternative suppliers to meet the rising demand, leading to an uptick in imports from Peru and other key producers.
