**Titanium Ore Imports Surge Amid Global Demand Boom**
**Greek Ports Receive Record Volume of Titanium Concentrates in Q2**
• Greek imports of titanium ores and concentrates rose by 15% year-on-year in the second quarter, driven by strong demand from European steelmakers.
• The majority of the imported volume originated from Australia, with Chile and South Africa also contributing significantly to Greece’s total import tally.
• Prices for titanium concentrates remain stable due to a well-balanced supply chain, with no significant price increases or decreases reported in Q2.
Greece’s imports of titanium ores and concentrates have benefited from the ongoing expansion of its steel industry, particularly in the automotive sector. As European demand continues to grow, Greek ports are expected to receive a steady flow of titanium concentrate shipments throughout the remainder of the year, with prices likely to remain stable due to robust supply chain dynamics.
