European Import of Cold-Profiled (Ribbed) Sheets of Non-Alloy Steel Share by Country (Kilograms)

Germany leads the European import market for cold-profiled (ribbed) sheets of non-alloy steel, contributing to 29.62% of the total imports by weight. In 2023, Germany experienced a moderate annual growth of 3.68%, while Romania and Lithuania followed closely as key importers, showing year-on-year increases of 4.14% and 4.54%, respectively. Notably, Italy and Belgium saw significant surges in import shares with increases of 12.67% and 14.4%, respectively. Conversely, countries like the Netherlands and France experienced declines of 11.55% and 9.74%. Overall, the import landscape is dominated by Germany, but smaller economies are rapidly growing their share.

Future trends to watch include:

• Increased demand in smaller markets such as Bulgaria and Ireland, with impressive 2023 growth rates.
• Potential for recovery or continued decline in countries like the Netherlands and France, facing current challenges.
• Impact of geopolitical and economic shifts on trade dynamics within Europe, possibly affecting import shares.
