In 2023, Italy imported 3.5 million kilograms of iron and non-alloy steel in primary forms. Forecasts indicate a steady decline in imports over the next five years, with values dropping to 3.3519 million kilograms in 2024 and further decreasing to 2.8374 million kilograms by 2028. The year-on-year decrease from 2024 to 2025 is approximately 3.95%, continuing a downtrend with an average compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of about -3.27% over the next five years.
Future trends to watch for in this forecast include potential impacts of changes in global steel supply chains, shifts toward alternative materials or methods of production, and policy changes within the European Union impacting trade. Additionally, monitoring global economic conditions and their effects on industrial demand could provide further insights into import trends.
