The forecast for intra-EU28 iron and steel waste imports to France shows a declining trend from 2024 to 2028. Starting at 298.87 million euros in 2024, the value decreases progressively each year, reaching 216.94 million euros by 2028. This downward trajectory suggests a potential reduction in demand or shifts in the steel recycling industry within the EU28.

Year-on-year percent changes indicate a consistent decrease, suggesting potential external influences like market saturation or policy changes affecting trade. If this trend continues, stakeholders might need to consider diversification or efficiency improvements.

For future trends, watch for:

Changes in EU environmental regulations impacting recycling practices.
Technological advancements that may streamline operations and reduce costs.
Geopolitical shifts influencing bilateral trade agreements or economic conditions.
