**Greece Sees Surge in Unworked Human Hair Imports**
**Greek Cosmetics Industry Driven by Rising Demand for Natural Products**
• The value of Greece’s human hair imports increased by 15% year-on-year to $12 million in the first half of 2023.
• This growth is attributed to a rising demand for natural cosmetics products, driven by consumer preference for eco-friendly and sustainable goods.
• Greek importers are sourcing human hair from major suppliers in China and India, taking advantage of lower prices due to increased global supply.
Greek importers have taken advantage of the growing demand for natural cosmetics products, driving up imports of unworked human hair. Prices for high-quality human hair from China and India remain competitive, with a 10% drop in costs over the past quarter. As the summer season approaches, Greek manufacturers are expected to boost production of natural hair-based products, further fueling import growth.
