**Greek Imports of Vulcanised Rubber Tubes Rise Amid Manufacturing Boom**
**Demand for Industrial Supplies Drives Growth in Greek Market**
• Greece’s imports of vulcanised rubber tubes and hoses increased by 4.3% in June from the same period last year.
• The growth is attributed to a surge in demand from the country’s manufacturing sector, which has seen a 2.5% expansion in output over the past quarter.
• Prices for vulcanised rubber tubes have remained stable at around €1,500 per tonne due to strong supply chains and competition.
A boost in Greece’s manufacturing activity is driving imports of industrial supplies, including vulcanised rubber tubes and hoses. As the sector expands, companies are turning to foreign suppliers to meet rising demand. The country’s imports of these essential components have risen for three consecutive months, indicating a sustained trend.
