**Greece Sees Surge in Imported New Rubber Tyre Shipments**
**Market demand for tyres remains strong amid summer road trips**
* Imports of new rubber tyres to Greece surged by 15% in June, driven by increased demand from the country’s automotive sector.
* The main suppliers were China and Turkey, which accounted for 60% and 20% of total tyre imports respectively.
* Average price per unit remained stable at €120 compared to May.
Greece’s tyre imports have picked up pace ahead of the peak summer travel season, as consumers replace worn-out tyres before embarking on long road trips. The trend is in line with regional market trends, where demand for new vehicles and replacement parts remains robust. While prices remain stable, manufacturers are expected to pass on any potential cost increases due to raw material price fluctuations.
