**Greek Imports of Photographic Films Rise Amid Consumer Demand**
**Increased sales of digital cameras fuel demand for photographic films**
* Greek imports of photographic films in rolls rose by 3.5% year-over-year to 1.23 million units in Q2.
* The increase is attributed to a surge in consumer demand driven by the sale of digital cameras and an uptick in tourism.
* The average import price per unit increased by 2.6% to €12.50 due to supply chain disruptions.
Greek imports of photographic films in rolls have bucked the broader trend of declining film sales globally, as consumers in Greece increasingly opt for high-quality photography products. Despite supply chain challenges affecting global suppliers, Greek retailers are reportedly benefiting from a surge in demand driven by strong sales of digital cameras and an uptick in tourism this summer.
