With such depth, buyers can quickly find a match that fits their exact needs without having to start from scratch or wait for a custom quote to be issued.

This diversity means buyers have multiple options to consider based on origin, quality, or logistics—making it easier to find a supplier that aligns with specific regional or regulatory requirements. Buyer inquiries dropped 38.9% to 58 over the last 30 days, indicating a noticeable slowdown in demand.
