The forecast for the import of hot-rolled stainless steel not in coils of a width of 600 mm or more, with a thickness of 3-4.75 mm to France from 2024 to 2028 shows a gradual decline. With 2023 as the baseline, the annual volume of imports is expected to decrease steadily by roughly 0.54% each year on average over the five-year period. By 2028, the volume is projected to reach 9.3005 million kilograms, reflecting a continuous downward trend.

Future trends to watch for:

Potential impacts of global trade policies on steel imports in France.
Technological advancements in alternative materials that may reduce demand.
Economic conditions in France and its major trade partners that could affect import levels.
