In 2023, Italy led European exports of iron or steel bridges and bridge-sections, totaling 178.26 million kilograms. Germany followed with 86.844 million kilograms, despite experiencing a decline. Significant year-on-year growth was observed in Latvia and Spain, with increases of 4.32% and 2.66%, respectively. Luxembourg's exports surged by 330.47%. In contrast, Finland and Romania witnessed declines of over 24%. Consistent growth occurred in lesser-exporting countries like Poland and Slovakia, with increases of 3.77% and 12.46%.

Looking ahead, increased European infrastructure investments could boost demand for bridge materials. Environmental policies might favor exporting countries with greener technologies, impacting competitive positioning. Close monitoring of EU trade policies and regional demand fluctuations will be crucial for anticipating shifts in the export landscape.
