Greece Wood Tar Imports Rise Amid Seasonal Demand Surge
**Wood Tar Imports Growth Tied to Industrial Activity**
* Greek imports of wood tar rose by 4.6% in June from the same month last year.
* The increase was driven by higher demand from the country’s chemical and pharmaceutical sectors.
* Prices for imported wood tar have stabilized at around €1,300 per ton over the past quarter.
Greece’s industrial production has been steadily increasing since the start of 2023, fueled in part by a rebound in domestic demand. As a result, imports of key raw materials like wood tar have picked up to meet growing demand from manufacturers. The sector is expected to continue its upward trend in the coming months, driven by both domestic and export-oriented production.
