The forecast for Italy's import of flat rolled iron or non-alloy steel plated or coated with plastics under 600 mm width indicates a gradual decline from 2024 to 2028, starting at 14.739 million kg and decreasing to 14.68 million kg by 2028. In 2023, the actual imports were slightly higher, marked at 14.754 million kg.
Year-on-year variation from 2024 to 2028 shows marginal reductions, with consistently small decreases of approximately 0.1% annually, indicating a stable yet slightly declining trend. Over the five-year period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) further emphasizes this diminishing trend.
Future trends to watch include potential impacts of shifting trade policies, technological advancements in material coating processes, and fluctuations in global steel demand, which could affect import requirements and volumes.
