Forecast: Import of Hot Box Rolled Iron or Non-Alloy Steel Not in Coils, of a Width of 150-600 mm, Thickness More Than 4 mm, Unclad to France

In 2023, the import volume of hot box rolled iron or non-alloy steel not in coils into France stood at approximately 23.4 million kilograms. The forecast for 2024 and subsequent years shows a slight decline each year, with 2024 expected at 23.269 million kilograms and gradually decreasing to 22.768 million kilograms by 2028. This indicates a subtle year-on-year decrease, with the Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over these five years suggesting a consistent minor contraction in import volumes.

Future trends to watch for include potential impacts of economic shifts, changes in industrial demand within France, and the strategic trade policies that might affect the steel import markets. Increasing emphasis on sustainability and environmental regulations may also drive transformation in the steel industry, affecting supply chains and import volumes.
