The forecast for the import of angles, shapes, and sections of stainless steel to France from 2024 to 2028 shows a gradual decline. The figures decrease annually from 4.28 million kilograms in 2024 to 3.97 million kilograms in 2028. This reflects a downward trend with a notable decrease in volume, averaging a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately -1.5% over this period. Compared to 2023, when actual data indicated the volume of imports, the forecast suggests a contraction in import volume year by year.

Future trends to watch for include:

Fluctuations in global stainless steel prices, which could impact import volumes.
Changes in demand within key sectors such as construction and automotive, influencing import needs.
Trade policy adjustments or economic conditions within France and the EU that might affect import decisions.
