Forecast: Import of Ingots, Other Primary Forms and Long Semi-Finished Products of Alloy Steel Other than of Stainless Steel to Germany

In 2023, Germany imported 271 million kilograms of ingots, other primary forms, and long semi-finished products of alloy steel other than stainless steel. The forecast for the coming years shows a gradual decline in imports, with values decreasing from 270.05 million kilograms in 2024 to 268.03 million kilograms in 2028. This reflects a subtle downward trend in import volume.

The year-on-year variation from 2024 to 2025 is approximately 0.19%, from 2025 to 2026 around 0.19%, and from 2026 to 2027 about 0.19%, indicating a consistent decrease in imported volumes. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over these five years is approximately -0.14%.

Future trends to watch include:

• Global economic conditions affecting the demand and production of alloy steel.
• Technological advancements in steel production and recycling within Germany potentially reducing import dependence.
• Changes in trade policies and agreements impacting Germany's steel import dynamics.
• Industry-specific demand and competition from alternative materials.
