The import volume of flat-rolled iron or non-alloy steel painted, varnished, or coated with plastics with a width of 600 mm or more to Germany is expected to show a steady growth from 537.25 million kilograms in 2024 to 566.42 million kilograms in 2028. This forecast reflects a year-on-year increase of around 1.5% to 1.8%. As of 2023, the import volume was marginally lower, indicating a positive trend over the five-year forecast period with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 1.7%.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in global trade policies, environmental regulations impacting the steel industry, and technological advances in coating materials, as these factors could influence Germany's import patterns. Tracking these developments could provide insights into potential accelerations or disruptions in growth trends.
