European Import of Open Sections Cold Formed or Folded of Non Alloy Steel Share by Country (Kilograms)

In 2023, France led the European import market for open sections cold formed or folded of non-alloy steel with a share of 21.87%, closely followed by Germany with 21.78%. Countries like Czechia and the Netherlands had notable shares, while the United Kingdom and smaller nations like Cyprus had minimal contributions. Year-on-year trends indicate substantial growth for France and countries like Greece and Malta, while the UK experienced a significant decline. Over the last five years, the compound annual growth rate showed balanced growth among leading importers, with particular resilience in Eastern Europe.

Future trends to watch include the potential for continued growth in Eastern European countries due to increased infrastructure investments, potential expansion by smaller players such as Latvia and Lithuania, and the impact of evolving trade agreements on the European steel market.
