Greece Imports of Halogenated Hydrocarbons Rise Amid Supply Chain Issues
Greek demand for halogenated hydrocarbon mixtures, used in various industrial applications, drives imports.
• Greek imports of halogenated hydrocarbon mixtures (HS Code 3827) increased by 4.5% year-over-year in June.
• The rise was attributed to supply chain disruptions and ongoing production issues in key European suppliers.
• Prices for these chemicals have also surged this quarter due to strong demand from the pharmaceutical sector.
Greek chemical manufacturers are struggling to meet domestic demand as imports of halogenated hydrocarbon mixtures continue to climb. Supply chain bottlenecks, particularly affecting major producers in Europe, have led to increased import volumes and prices. This trend is expected to persist through Q3 due to sustained demand from the pharmaceutical industry.
