**Greek Import Demand Boosts Global Vulcanised Rubber Sales**
**Greece’s Construction Sector Drives Up Imports of Specialized Materials**
• Greek imports of vulcanised rubber sheets and profiles rose 15% in June compared to the same period last year.
• This increase is attributed to a surge in construction activity, driven by government investments in infrastructure projects.
• Prices for these materials have remained relatively stable, influenced by global supply chain dynamics.
Greek importers are capitalizing on increased demand from the country’s booming construction sector. As the government invests heavily in infrastructure development, the need for specialized materials like vulcanised rubber sheets and profiles has grown accordingly. Industry insiders expect this trend to continue throughout the remainder of 2023, with Greek imports potentially reaching new highs as a result.
