Greece Sees Surge in Imports of Vulcanised Rubber Thread and Cords
Greek Manufacturers Increase Demand for Key Component Amidst Industrial Growth
• Greek importers brought in 12% more vulcanised rubber thread and cords in Q2 compared to the same period last year.
• The increase is attributed to rising demand from local manufacturers who are expanding production lines to meet growing industrial output.
• Prices of imported goods remain stable, influenced by steady supply chains from key European suppliers.
Greece’s manufacturing sector has been experiencing a resurgence in recent months, driven by increased investment and government incentives. As a result, local companies are stepping up production, thereby boosting demand for essential components like vulcanised rubber thread and cords. Imports of these goods have responded accordingly, with Q2 volumes exceeding last year’s levels. Industry insiders expect this trend to continue throughout the remainder of 2024, pending no significant disruptions to global supply chains.
