Forecast: Import of Cold Rolled Iron or Non-Alloy Steel in Coils, of a Width of 600 mm or More, Thickness of 0.5-1 mm and Minimum Yield Point Not Exceeding 275 Mpa to Japan

The forecasted data indicates a gradual increase in the import of cold rolled iron or non-alloy steel in coils to Japan over the next five years, with a steady rise from 2024 through 2028. The year-on-year growth is consistently marginal, reflecting a stable market trajectory.

Year-on-year growth from 2024 to 2025 is approximately 0.5%, and a similar growth rate is observed for subsequent years. As a long-term trend, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2024 to 2028 implies a modest yet steady expansion in demand for these imports. Previously, in 2023, imports stood at a baseline, facilitating this growth analysis.

Future trends to watch for include:

• Potential fluctuations in global steel prices impacting import volumes.
• Technological advancements influencing domestic production capabilities in Japan.
• Environmental regulations and policies that could affect demand for imported materials.
