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 Brazil

The import of hot box roll iron or non-alloy steel to Brazil shows a steady upward trend from 2024 to 2028, with an increase from 4.54 million kg to 5.08 million kg, signifying gradual expansion. From 2023’s actual figures, the forecast suggests modest growth, with year-on-year percentage increases averaging around 3–3.5% annually. Over the five-year horizon, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) also reflects this stable upward trajectory.

Future trends to monitor include:

• Global steel production fluctuations, which could impact Brazil's import needs.
• Trade policies and tariffs affecting international steel dynamics.
• Environmental policies driving changes in industrial demand patterns.
