The forecasted import of hot rolled stainless steel sheets (less than 600 mm width, less than 4.75 mm thickness) to Germany shows a declining trend from 2024 to 2028, starting at $7.14 million in 2024, and projected to decrease to $2.10 million by 2028. As of 2023, the imports were higher than $7.14 million, indicating a consistent downward trajectory in the coming years. The year-on-year decrease reflects significant adjustments, with the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year period showing a notable decline.
Future trends to watch for include potential impacts of changes in global supply chains, shifts in demand for thinner steel sheets within Germany, and any trade policy adjustments by the EU that might affect import volumes and values.
