Forecast: Import of I-Sections of a Web Height of 80 mm or More of Non-Alloy Steel to France

The forecasted import of I-sections with a web height of 80 mm or more of non-alloy steel to France indicates a declining trend from 2024 to 2028, starting at 350.26 million kilograms in 2024 and decreasing to 340.07 million kilograms by 2028. Comparing these figures with 2023, when the import volume stood at 352 million kilograms, there is a clear downward trajectory. The year-on-year variations from 2024 to 2028 show a consistent negative growth, with an average annual decrease (CAGR) over this five-year period trending toward approximately 0.59%.

Future trends to watch for include:

• Potential changes in trade policies and tariffs affecting the cost and volume of imports.
• Economic developments or shifts in construction demand within the European Union that could impact steel import requirements.
• Technological advancements leading to alternative materials potentially reducing the reliance on traditional steel structures.
