In 2023, the import value of flat rolled iron or non-alloy steel plated or coated with plastics of a width of less than 600 mm to the US was $30 million. The forecast shows a slight decline from 2024 to 2028, with values decreasing from $29.889 million to $29.419 million. This indicates a consistent downward trend with minimal annual decreases, reflecting a stable but slightly declining market.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Potential shifts in global supply chains that could influence import levels.
- Technological advancements impacting manufacturing and coating processes.
- Changes in US trade policies and tariffs affecting steel imports.
