Forecast: Import of Sections U/I/H 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 Germany

The forecast for Germany's import of sections U/I/H of iron or non-alloy steel, hot-rolled, drawn, or extruded, and less than 80 mm in height, shows a decline from 19.33 million kilograms in 2024 to 15.201 million kilograms in 2028. This indicates a steady decrease, with a consistent reduction year-on-year by approximately 5.5% on average throughout the period. In 2023, the import stood at a similar volume to the projected 2024 figure.

Future trends to watch for include shifts in Germany's domestic production capacity, demand changes driven by the construction and manufacturing sectors, potential policy changes impacting trade, and global market fluctuations influencing steel prices and competitiveness.
