Forecast: Import of Bars and Rods of Alloy Steel Other than Stainless, Hot-Rolled, in Irregularly Wound Coils to France

The import of bars and rods of alloy steel other than stainless, hot-rolled, in irregularly wound coils to France is forecasted to increase gradually from 97.195 million kilograms in 2024 to 98.274 million kilograms in 2028. Over this period, the year-on-year growth rates are small but reflect a steady trend underpinned by stable demand, with values standing at approximately 97.195 million kilograms in 2024 after 2023’s actual import figures. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over the forecasted five-year period reflects a consistent average annual increase.

Looking ahead, trends to watch include potential impacts from changes in EU trade policies, technological advancements in steel production, and shifts in industrial demand—particularly from key sectors like construction and automotive. Monitoring these elements will be crucial for anticipating future import dynamics in France's steel market.
