The import of flat rolled iron or non-alloy steel coated with tin to the UK is projected to grow steadily from 2024, indicating a consistent year-on-year increase in volume. From 2024 to 2028, import volumes are expected to rise from 14.372 million kilograms to 15.838 million kilograms. This reflects a trend of moderate growth, compounded by both economic recovery and increasing demand in relevant sectors.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Global economic conditions influencing steel supply chains and fluctuations in raw material prices.
- Trade policy changes post-Brexit affecting import tariffs and regulations.
- The impact of green technologies reducing or reshaping demand for tin-coated steel in manufacturing processes.
