European Sold Production of Cold-Formed Sections, Obtained from Flat Products, of Non-Alloy Steel, Not Coated by Country

In 2023, Italy led the European production of cold-formed sections of non-alloy steel, uncoated, with 593.76 million euros, showing a year-on-year increase of 3.8%. Germany followed, though with a decline of 1.55%. Notable gains were seen in the Netherlands and the United Kingdom with increases of 8.86% and 8.75%, respectively. Sweden and Portugal also experienced significant growth. Meanwhile, Croatia and Serbia saw the largest declines at -2.36% and -9.46%. Over the last five years, production trends varied, with mixed growth and contraction across the region.

Future trends to monitor include:

• Potential rebound in Eastern European countries affected by recent declines.
• Impact of technological advancements on production efficiency and output.
• Sustainability factors and the increasing push for greener production processes.
• Fluctuations in global steel demand impacting European export opportunities.
