In 2023, the re-import of granules of pig iron or spiegeleisen to France was at a certain benchmark, which is essential to contextualize the forecasted data. The forecast shows a consistent decline from 2024 to 2028, with yearly quantities decreasing from 244.28 thousand kilograms in 2024 to 183.32 thousand kilograms in 2028. The year-on-year decreases suggest a downward trend, indicative of diminishing demand or increased self-sufficiency within France's domestic markets.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Improvements in domestic production capability.
- Shifts in Europe's steel and alloy markets.
- Policy changes influencing importation norms and tariffs.
