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

In 2023, Germany's imports of H-sections of a web height of 80 mm or more of non-alloy steel were approximately 420 million kilograms. The forecast from 2024 to 2028 shows a stable, gradual increase in import volume, growing from 420.9 million kilograms in 2024 to 423.52 million kilograms by 2028. This represents an annual growth that is minimal yet steady, with year-on-year increases consistently below 1%. The 5-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is predicted to be marginal.

Future trends to watch for:

• Potential impacts of economic fluctuations on construction and infrastructure projects in Germany, which could influence steel demand.
• Changes in trade policies or international relations affecting import patterns and prices.
• Advancements in alternative materials or technologies that might shift industry preferences.
