Forecast: Import of Flat Rolled Products of Non Alloy Steel of a Width LessThan 600 mm to France

In 2023, France imported approximately 201.83 million kilograms of flat rolled products of non-alloy steel with a width less than 600 mm. From 2024 to 2028, a downward trend is forecasted, with imports expected to decline from 198.5 million kilograms to 185.4 million kilograms. This represents a year-on-year decrease of around 1.67% in 2025, 1.68% in 2026, 1.7% in 2027, and 1.71% in 2028. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) from 2024 to 2028 is approximately -1.71%, indicating a consistent decrease each year.

Future trends to monitor include changes in global steel demand, trade policies impacting tariff structures, and shifts in domestic manufacturing capacity. Furthermore, technological advancements in steel production and potential environmental regulations targeting emissions might alter import volumes significantly. Keeping an eye on these factors could provide better context to the downward trend and guide strategic decisions in the steel sector.
