Forecast: Import of Hot Box Roll Iron or Non-Alloy Steel of a Width Less Than 600 mm, Thickness More Than 4.75 mm, Unclad to France

As of 2023, France imported hot box roll iron or non-alloy steel (width < 600 mm, thickness > 4.75 mm, unclad) worth millions of US dollars, with the subsequent forecasts beginning in 2024. Notably, from 2024 to 2028, projections show a progressive decline from 24.59 to 23.166 million USD. Year-on-year analysis for recent years highlights a decreasing trend, and the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over five years signals an average annual downturn.

Future trends to consider include:

• Potential impacts of global economic conditions on steel demand.
• Technological advancements in alternative materials.
• Trade policy shifts impacting import volumes and global steel prices.
• Environmental regulations potentially influencing steel production and consumption patterns.
