The import of hot- or cold-formed and welded steel tubes and pipes of circular cross-section with an external diameter under 406.4 mm to Germany is projected to steadily increase from 2024 to 2028, starting from 397.84 million kilograms in 2024 and reaching 421.44 million kilograms by 2028. This consistent growth represents a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this five-year period. In 2023, the emphasis was on a recovery phase, with volumes slightly below the 2024 forecasts, indicating an upward trend and confidence in the market post-2023.
Future trends to watch include potential influences from environmental regulations favoring alternative materials or domestic production changes based on geopolitical movements affecting steel import policies. Demand in sectors such as construction and automotive might also significantly impact the volume of imports.
