The forecast for the UK's production of tubes and pipes of circular cross-section, hot- or cold-formed and welded, of an external diameter less than 406.4 mm of steel (excluding stainless steel) indicates a gradual decline. Starting from 80.952 million euros in 2024, a slight year-on-year decrease is projected down to 80.116 million euros by 2028.
