The forecast for the import volume of tubes and pipes with a circular cross-section, hot- or cold-formed and welded, made of non-stainless steel with an external diameter less than 406.4 mm to Italy shows a decrease from 36.447 million kilograms in 2024 to 33.367 million kilograms in 2028. Starting from an undefined base year in 2023, the volume is anticipated to experience a consistent year-on-year decline of approximately 2-3%. Over the five-year period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) reflects this trend, stressing a reduction in import volumes.
Future trends to observe include shifts in global steel demand, changes in international trade policies, and technological advancements in production processes, which could influence Italy's import needs for such steel products.
