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 France

In 2023, the import of sections L of iron or non-alloy steel to France, expressed in million US dollars, stood at approximately 23.5. Forecast data indicates a gradual decline, with projected imports dropping to 23.183 million USD in 2024 and continuing to decrease annually to 22.142 million USD by 2028. This reflects a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately -1.2% over these five years.

The year-on-year percentage change reveals slight declines each year, suggesting a consistent decrease in the import of these materials. Over 2024 to 2025, the anticipated decrease is around 1.2%, maintaining a steady reducing trend through 2028.

Future trends to watch for include potential influences from global steel demand fluctuations, international trade policies, and advancements in alternative materials that may impact the steel import needs of France. Monitoring environmental regulations and their impact on both production and consumption could also play a crucial role in shaping future import dynamics.
