**Greece Sees Slight Increase in Polyamide Imports Amidst Supply Constraints**
**Greek Manufacturers Grapple with Higher Material Costs, Tightening Supplies**
• Greek imports of polyamides (HS Code 3908) rose by 2.5% year-over-year to 3,200 metric tons in June.
• The increase was driven primarily by a surge in demand from the automotive and textile sectors.
• Prices for polyamides remain elevated due to ongoing supply chain disruptions and strong demand.
Greece’s polyamide imports have shown resilience despite broader market trends. The slight increase in June is attributed to a pick-up in demand from key industrial segments, including automotives and textiles. However, industry sources caution that the recovery is likely to be short-lived as suppliers struggle to replenish stocks amidst persistent supply chain constraints. This may lead to higher material costs for Greek manufacturers in the coming months.
