Forecast: Import of Sections L of Iron or Non-Alloy Steel Not Further Worked Than Hot-Rolled, Hot-Drawn or Extruded, of a Height of Less Than 80 mm to Brazil

Between 2023 and 2028, the forecasted trajectory for Brazil’s import of sections L of iron or non-alloy steel not further worked than hot-rolled, hot-drawn, or extruded, with a height of less than 80 mm, shows a consistent annual decrease. The projected import volume declines from 2.1096 million kilograms in 2024 to 1.3764 million kilograms in 2028. This reflects a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of -10.58% over the five-year forecast period.

The data indicates a steady contraction in demand for these imports. The year-on-year variations demonstrate an increasingly negative growth pattern, suggesting a shift potentially due to domestic production capacity improvements or a downturn in end-use industries.

Future trends to watch for include:

• Changes in domestic industrial policies that could affect steel imports.
• Economic developments within Brazil that might alter construction or manufacturing demand.
• Potential trade agreements influencing import costs and volumes.
• Technological advancements in steel processing within domestic markets.
