In 2023, Canada re-imported flat-rolled iron or non-alloy steel coated with lead, sized 600 mm or more, with an unspecified value. For 2024, forecasts indicate a starting value of $1.04 thousand, followed by a projected decrease to $0.72109 thousand by 2028, highlighting a downward trend.
Year-on-year variations reveal diminishing values: from 2024 to 2025 a decrease of 7.8%, from 2025 to 2026 a fall of 8.4%, continuing to drop approximately by 9% through to 2028. These decreases suggest a negative CAGR over this five-year span.
Future trends to watch include potential impacts of environmental policies on steel industry practices, including lead coating restrictions, and global market shifts that could affect re-import dynamics. Monitoring these factors may reveal opportunities or further declines.
